I suppose I did something wrong, but it didn't work for me. It would be helpful to know a few things: How long do you generally simmer it before it's "reduced by half"? When you say it should be the consistency of butter, is that softened butter? Melted butter?<br/><br/>I started this recipe at 10 at night for a party the following morning. At 1 I don't think it was reduced by half and it had a crust... but I don't know if it was the consistency of butter... Maybe the non-crust part was the consistency of melted butter...<br/><br/>I just used it anyway and it wasn't bad with scones. Not clotted cream though. If I'd had a better idea of how long it was supposed to take, etc., I would have had a better idea of if my heat was high enough, etc. -
Very close to the original.
