After
two or three rounds, you will perceive a thick Cream rise at the top. Scum
it off with your spoon, and lay it in another dish. And always stir it the
same way, and more Cream will rise; which as it doth rise, you put it into
your dish, one lare upon an other. And thus almost all the Cream will turn
into this thick Cream, to within two or three spoonfuls. If you would have
it sweeter, you may strew some Sugar upon the top of it. You must be
careful not to have the heat too much; for then it will turn to oyl; as
also if the Cream have been carried. If you would have it warm, set the
dish you lay it in, upon a Chafing-dish of Coals.
ANOTHER CLOUTED CREAM
Milk your Cows in the evening about the ordinary hour, and fill with it a
little Kettle about three quarters full, so that there may be happily two
or three Gallons of Milk. Let this stand thus five or six hours. About
twelve a Clock at night kindle a good fire of Charcoal, and set a large
Trivet over it. When the fire is very clear and quick, and free from all
smoak, set your Kettle of Milk over it upon the Trivet, and have in a pot
by a quart of good Cream ready to put in at the due time; which must be,
when you see the Milk begin to boil simpringly.
