Then scoop the thick “clotted” clumps of cream into a jar or bowl (or just leave it in the pyrex). If your clotted cream is thicker than you’d like, add a couple spoonfuls of whey back into the cream.
- Spread clotted cream on scones (or waffles, pancakes, etc), top with jam or lemon curd, and enjoy with a cup of tea!
