Devonshire Clotted Cream
True Devonshire Cream, or Clotted Cream, is a very thick, rich cream actually very similar to butter. It is unsweetened, so it pairs very well on the scone with jam. You can purchase it in better supermarkets or specialty stores, or you can order it online .
Although sweetened a little, these homemade substitutions are very good with all scone recipes as well.
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
OR
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup mascarpone or 1/4 cup softened cream cheese
1 heaping tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
The directions are the same for both cream recipes: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and beat with a mixer until stiff. Refrigerate until ready to use. Best when prepared and served the same day. Makes 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups
