This is a vlog of our journey, discovering how traditional, real Cornish clotted cream was made in 1930, tasting it and how it differs from the product sold today.
When we suggested making a video about a Cornish Cream tea, we received some comments from our American viewers saying how much they were looking forward to us making Cornish clotted cream - this surprised us! We had overlooked the point that, living in Cornwall we have easy access to clotted cream in our supermarkets whenever we want it, unlike other folks.
With Cornish clotted cream readily available, we had never made it so we decided to find out how our grandmothers and great-grandmothers would have done so. My Mum was able to furnish us with my Great-Gran's recipe book from 1930. It is a compilation of Cornish recipes, gathered by the Women's Institute in Cornwall at that time and includes a page on clotted cream.
Watch as we decipher the recipe and overcome challenges to make traditional, authentic Cornish clotted cream! With fresh milk provided by a "Jersey herd" from our local Farmer! But what does it taste like?
The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on YouTube, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!
