We went to England almost 3 years ago and had tea in the town of Windsor, by the castle and had clotted cream for the first time. At 175, my oven does an auto shutoff, so I do 12 hours at 180. I am going to try this although my oven doesn’t have a setting below 200F- it just says “warm” so I’ll try making it on “warm’ for the 12 hours. I was scared cause it was runny but set up in frig just fine. This will definitely work, you will just not have as high a yield. Worked beautifully as written! Very easy. Start to reheat the pan of milk exactly as before. Is this the way it should have made up?? I could so go for a scone and some clotted cream right now! I’m tempted to try it with what I can get to see if it works. We bought the right kind of cream and cooked it per instructions in a fairly deep oval baker the cream was around 2 inches deep.

Now that we’re heading into fall, I’m going to be making a few batches. But I was wondering if clotted cream needs to be baked at 12 hours or can the time be shorten? I thought it was the most decadent thing I’d ever had. How much clotted cream does your recipe make and how long will it keep in the refrigerator? Should I just scrap it, get some more cream and try again? I think you forgot to day to cover the dish while cooking.
