Cornish clotted cream

Ingredients

Directions

Choose a wide, shallow earthenware pan. Strain very fresh milk into this & leave to stand, overnight if summertime or for twenty-four hours in cold weather. Then slowly, & without simmering, raise the temp. of the milk over a low heat until a solid ring starts to form around the edge. Without shaking the pan, very carefully remove it from the heat & leave overnight, or a little longer, in a cool place.

The thick crust of cream can then be skimmed off the surface with a large spoon or a fish-slice.
