How to make Clotted Cream:
To make the clotted cream, pour 2 pints of heavy whipping cream into a large, shallow baking dish. Bake for 12 hours at 175°F.
Allow to cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6-8 hours. Use a spoon scrape off the solid clotted cream into a small bowl.
Save the liquid whey, and use in biscuits or scones.
