What are Double Cream & Single Cream?
Q. What is double cream?
A. Double cream is the name in Britain for a very rich cream — containing 48% butterfat. Whipping cream in this country, by contrast, contains between 30% and 40% butterfat. Single cream in Britain is comparable to American half and half (and may also be called pouring cream), with between 10% and 12% fat.

Double cream is so rich, in fact, that it is easy to overwhip it and get it too thick. Some cooks add a tablespoon or so of milk to 8 to 10 ounces of double cream before whipping it to keep it loose enough.

neutral  Vihar Kraste (X): That's correct. However, you would not call cream "каймак" - thick or not - in the context of the food industry, or in any commercial document. It's grannies' home terminology alone.

  -> Благодаря. При първа възможност ще Ви черпя (поне) едно кафе със сметана. Пълномаслена или обезмаслена - по Ваш вкус. I take it black. Prevailing habit here, though, has it 'Double Double Coffee Please To Go!' (double cream, double sugar). Double sh-t!
