Creator's Key Takeaways

we went in we had tea uh wonderful sandwiches we had champagne too wonderful sandwiches and sweets and then they bring out the scans and the clotted cream in the jam and it was just unbelievable

the clotted cream served at the Dorchester hotel is a true Indulgence renowned for its velvety smoothness and Rich creamy taste

so you can buy clotted cream in the store uh you can even get it online but I've read people that get it online uh a lot of times it comes at spoiled so I wouldn't go that route

this is better because it's homemade and you made it so whenever you're getting ready to have scon and you want to have afternoon tea just make your own it's very easy

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use heavy cream and optionally add English double cream for extra fat content
Bake at 180°F for 12 hours, then let sit out for an hour and refrigerate for 12 hours
Skim off the liquid part to get the clotted cream and stir before serving
