Devonshire cream substitute!

Do you mean clotted cream? I have never heard of Devonshire cream but perhaps it’s a thing?

Joy of Cooking and various on-line sites have recipes for making clotted cream. We are lucky enough to have a bakery specializing in scones of all sorts of textures, flavours and sizes and they make their own clotted cream - it’s a pretty good approximation of the real thing. There are recipes in Joy of Cooking and also on-line to make your own but it’s a bit of a process.

Will have to try our local mid-East store……..

"Devonshire cream" does seem to be 'a thing', or at least an "aka" for 'clotted cream'

In some branches of Booths supermarket in the Lake District there is also Cheshire clotted cream. It is more expensive than Cornish, so presumably is even richer.

According to many US websites, Devonshire Cream is the same as Cornish Cream . . . Except it is made in Devonshire.

But apparently due to the rivalry between Devon and Cornwall, neither will admit the other exists (which may explain Camborne2018’s response).

In Britain it’s only ever called clotted cream, but I think people would know what you meant by Devonshire cream because the cream tea is so strongly associated with Devon and Cornwall. Scones with jam and cream were a cheap and easy treat to produce for the first mass tourists of the Victorian era and the tradition continues today. It’s pretty mandatory to eat a least one cream tea when on holiday in these areas.
