clotted cream
Scone's thick topping
Clotted cream is a thick, rich cream made by slowly heating unpasteurized cow's milk until a layer of cream rises and forms clots on the surface.
It has a yellowish color and a consistency between butter and whipped cream.
Traditional to Devon and Cornwall in England, it's typically spread on scones with jam: afternoon tea with scones, clotted cream, and strawberry preserves.
