Scones...can you whip double cream to plop on top?

[Overseasmom100]

So dont have clotted ceeam only double can u whip it to make it stiff so to plop on top?

You can make clotted cream from whipped cream

How? Is it easy?

It has to be strawberry jam. None of your raspberry stuff @NaomiFromMilkshake.

Roar at filthy.

@NaomiFromMilkShake I'm quite happy to do a hit!

It is a deal.

@Lemonblast watch your back.

Oh wait, we are on lock down,rethinks............

i have fromage fraiche the other week as that was all i could get. didnt think it would work but it was actually quite nice.....on top of jam of course. i think we will all come out of this being much more adventurous with food

@MrsEricBana to be fair, you name-checked HMQ

This is hillarious...cant believe what I started

Squirty cream works well but has to be consumed quickly

I'll let you off in the current circumstances, but you must realise that's completely unacceptable, and I hope you don't run a tearoom or cafe.

If I had the power I would close down any commercial establishment servicing either squirty cream on scones or scones that hadn't been baked from scratch that day.

I use raspberry jam as well.

Lemonblast You are doing yourself no favours love, carry on like this and Naomi and I will be getting a posse together to hunt you down.

Turned out great
I used the recipe with a squeeze of lemon...scones are so light and fluffy.

Whipped that double cream up and it was lovely ... Pleased with myself

fromage fraiche

What fraiche hell is this?

I now want scones with jam and cream (or whichever way it goes). I have no scones or cream and am now sulking and trying to decide if I can spin the buying of scones and cream as essential.

@MrsEricBana
Beautiful.

What fraiche hell is this?

You win. Content and delivery.

I'm feeling both culinarily and linguistically appalled by fromage fraiche. But seriously impressed by 'What fraiche hell is this?' (Aside from the lack of a circumflex accent, obvs. )

Whipped cream much nicer than clotted cream IMO

Yes of course you can!

It should always be jam and then cream on top so you get more cream on that scone
