Recipe - Clotted Cream Part 2

20 ounce Heavy whipping cream
2 qt Milk (or more)*

*Preferably extrarich milk, if you can get it in your area.

Choose a widemouthed bowl or stainless steel bowl with sloping sides. Fill
it with milk, leaving a deep enough rim free to avoid spillage. Add 20 fl
double cream. Leave in the refrigerator for at least several hours, and
preferably overnight. Set the bowl over a pan of water kept at 82 degrees
C (180 F) and leave until the top of the milk is crusted with a nubbly
yellowishcream surface. This will take at least 1 One half hours, but it is
prudent to allow much longer. Take the bowl from the pan and cool it
rapidly in a bowl of ice water, then store in the refrigerator until very
cold. Take the crust off with a skimmer, and put it into another bowl with
a certain amount of the creamy liquid underneath; it is surprising how much
the clotted part firms upit needs the liquid. You can now put the milk
back over the heat for a second crust to form, and add that in its turn to
the first one. The milk left over makes the most delicious rice pudding,
or can be used in baking, especially of yeast buns.
