Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 175 to 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
  2. 2 Pour cream into a shallow glass or ceramic baking dish (an 8- or 9-inch square pan is ideal). Cream should be about 1 ½ to 2 inches deep.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven for 12 hours. Do not stir. Carefully remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, 8 hours to overnight.
  4. 4 Push aside a corner of the top layer of thickened cream.
  5. 5 Carefully pour liquid into a bowl or container; keep this chilled and use it in your favorite scone recipe (which will go perfectly with the clotted cream).
  6. 6 Pack thickened (clotted) cream into a ceramic crock or canning jar. Cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Instructions

  1. 1 Whip 1 pint heavy cream with a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Be sure to cover mixer and bowl with a clean kitchen towel, or risk a splattering mess. The cream will go through several stages -- foamy, then frothy, then soft peaks, stiff peaks, and, eventually, butter. It will take anywhere from 6 to 15 minutes until the butter separates from the buttermilk and starts to spatter.
  2. 2 Pour buttermilk into an airtight container and refrigerate; it will keep for 3 days.
  3. 3 Form butter into a ball. Working over a colander in the sink, rinse butter under cold running water to remove any remaining buttermilk. If butter is too soft, float it in a bowl of ice water for 20 minutes, then continue. When water runs clear from butter in your hands, knead butter firmly to remove all moisture.
  4. 4 Butter will stay fresh longer if it's salted, so work 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt into butter. Wrap in wax or cheese paper, or pack into ramekins.
