how to use clotted cream

Americans are often at a loss about how to use clotted cream. My simple recipe for homemade clotted cream is one of the most beloved recipes on this site, but those with no British connections often wonder what to do with it.

Clotted cream is a scrumptious cross between butter and whipped cream. It’s easy to make, but, of course, you can purchase a jar [paid link] of it if you prefer!

There are some traditional ways to use clotted cream detailed below. However, there are truly countless ways to use it!

Below are some ideas to get you started.

Spread Clotted Cream on Scones

Culinary Ginger has a great recipe for classic English scones (shown above and below).

But, by no means to do you need to stick to classic scones. Clotted cream would be wonderful on savory ones as well:

Potato Scones

I would love to try it on these cranberry scones from Unsophisticook…

or these Brown Bread Irish Scones

Enjoy Clotted Cream on Crumpets or Muffins

Clotted cream was practically made to be spread on crumpets. My crumpets below are missing out.

Clotted cream also works well on not-so-sweet muffins like these healthy blueberry muffins from A Cookie Named Desire…

or these strawberry rhubarb muffins

Slather Clotted Cream on Brunchy Breads

Although it is completely non-traditional, clotted cream is wonderful on warm cornbread!
