What could be more British than a dollop of delicious clotted cream? It has long been disputed whether clotted cream originated in Devon or Cornwall, and it’s certainly up for debate as to which county makes it best. Despite its controversial origins, we love it and so do our friends at Trewithen Dairy. Here are their 5 unconventional uses for clotted cream:
- Melt clotted cream on new potatoes for a decadent coating. Unlike butter, which has 80% fat content, clotted cream weighs in at just 60%, meaning it’s practically a health food…
- Spread your cream over marmalade on toast for a deliciously decadent afternoon treat.
- Stir it into risotto for added creaminess.
- Whiz clotted cream into milkshakes to achieve an extra thick consistency.
- Enrich your pastry with it by using 1 tbsp as a substitute for some of the butter and chill well before rolling out. This works particularly nicely for treacle tarts.
