An Aggie Ring, Clotted Cream and a Scone
Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring is very, very particular about his scones. They have to be made that day and they have to be good. Really good.
Aggie Ring won’t touch a scone without clotted cream on it. You can’t get clotted cream here in the USA. Well, not the good kind like in Devonshire, England. Aggie Ring won’t touch the crap you buy in glass jars here in the store that’s imported from the UK. It’s garbage. He makes his own.
For some reason, the Army kept sending Aggie Ring to England on TDY. Again, again, and again over the years. Aggie Ring came to appreciate good clotted cream as well as the black pudding.
Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring managed to get a couple of quarts of fresh heavy (non-ultra pasteurized) cream from a dairy just over the border in Pennsylvania. He filled up a baking dish an inch and a half deep with the fresh whole cream. Then he baked it at 170 degrees F for 12 hours.
Aggie Ring was quite pleased the next morning when he went into the kitchen and smelled the clotted cream. It had clotted up nicely. After chilling it for a day, Aggie Ring skimmed the solids from the liquid and put it into containers.
Having “connections” here on the Jersey Shore, Aggie Ring took some of his clotted cream up to a coffee shop where they bake fresh scones several days a week. He ordered a MOAS (Mother Of All Scones) which, for Aggie Ring is a chocolate chip scone and put some of the clotted cream on each piece.
Aggie Ring was quite pleased with how it all turned out. “It’s a good day to be an Aggie Ring on the Jersey Shore.” said the Aggie Ring.
