What is Honey Clotted Cream?
Bal kaymak, listed here as Honey Clotted Cream, is a Turkish breakfast favourite: thick, rich kaymak served with honey. Kaymak has a mild, milky flavour and a dense, spoonable texture; the honey adds floral sweetness and can be drizzled over the top or swirled through.
In Turkey it is commonly eaten at breakfast, spread on fresh bread or warm pide and enjoyed with tea. It is an energy-dense combination, with much of its nourishment coming from the honey’s carbohydrates and the kaymak’s fat, so a small spoonful can go a long way. Try it with unsweetened tea and a savoury breakfast such as eggs or fresh vegetables for contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions About Honey Clotted Cream
What is honey clotted cream?
Honey clotted cream is a serving of thick clotted cream with honey, rather than a separately churned or whipped spread. It is associated with Turkish breakfast, where the two are served together for dipping or spreading.
How do you eat honey clotted cream?
Eat honey clotted cream with bread, pita, or another plain baked good. Scoop up the cream and honey together, or spread the cream first and drizzle honey over each bite.
Is honey clotted cream the same as honey butter?
No. Honey clotted cream combines clotted cream with honey, while honey butter is made by mixing honey into butter. The cream version is softer and spoonable, with the dairy flavor of kaymak.
What does honey clotted cream taste like?
Honey clotted cream tastes rich and creamy, with sweetness from the honey and a mild dairy tang from the kaymak. The balance changes with the honey used and how generously it is drizzled.
How do you make honey clotted cream at home?
Spoon clotted cream into a small serving bowl and drizzle honey over it. You can leave the honey marbled through the cream or stir it in lightly; vigorous mixing is unnecessary.
What is the difference between honey clotted cream and kaymak?
Kaymak is the thick dairy cream itself; honey clotted cream is kaymak served with honey. Kaymak can also be served plain or paired with other foods, so the honey is not part of kaymak itself.
What can you serve with honey clotted cream besides bread?
Honey clotted cream also works as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or warm pastries. Add it just before serving so the cream stays distinct instead of melting into the hot food.
How should you store leftover honey clotted cream?
Cover leftover honey clotted cream and refrigerate it promptly. Use a clean spoon when serving, and avoid leaving the dairy mixture at room temperature for an extended period.
Can you freeze honey clotted cream?
Freezing honey clotted cream is not recommended because thawing can make the cream grainy or watery and cause the honey and dairy to separate. Refrigerate leftovers instead and serve them chilled.
Can babies eat honey clotted cream?
No. Honey clotted cream should not be given to babies younger than one year because honey can expose them to the bacteria that cause infant botulism. Choose age-appropriate foods instead.
