Ingredients

  • 150 g Milk, whole
  • 30 g Cream, heavy
  • 0.3 g Salt

Method

  1. Pour the milk and cream into a wide, heavy pan and bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat right down so it barely bubbles.
  2. Simmer very gently, uncovered and without stirring, for about 45-60 minutes, letting a thick skin form on the surface as the liquid slowly reduces.
  3. Carefully lift off the skin in one piece with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a plate; continue simmering and skimming every 10-15 minutes as new skins form.
  4. Let the collected skins cool, then layer them in a dish, sprinkling with the salt between layers, and press down gently.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or up to a few days, so the layers meld into a firm, rich, clotted-cream-like spread; serve cold as a topping for bread or grilled meats.
