- For the clotted cream custard
- 450ml milk
- 113g Rodda’s Cornish clotted cream or ½ 227g pot
- 3 tbsp caster sugar
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract or paste
- For the duffins batter
- 150g caster sugar
- 200g plain flour

Method
For the rhubarb compote
- Place all ingredients in a saucepan over a medium heat.
- Bring to the boil then simmer for 8-10 minutes until the rhubarb has broken down, the liquid has reduced, and it has a loose jam like consistency.
- Take of the heat and allow to cool, stirring occasionally.
For the clotted cream custard
- Add the milk and Rodda’s clotted cream to a pan over a medium heat and bring to the boil
- Meanwhile in a separate, heatproof bowl, beat the egg yolks, cornflour and sugar together to form a paste
- When the milk and clotted cream has reached simmering, take off the heat and slowly pour in a steady stream onto the eggs, sugar and cornflour mix, whisking constantly to avoid the eggs scrambling.
- Once combined, pour the mix back into the saucepan and put back on the heat. (if you have any lumps you can pour through a sieve back into the pan).
- Heat the custard mix until very thick, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula to work out any lumps. This should take 3-4 minutes.
- Once ready take off the heat and spoon into a bowl. Place a piece of clingfilm directly on the custards surface to avoid a skin forming and leave until cooled.
For the duffins
- Preheat the oven to 180C and line a 12 hole muffin tin with cases
- In a bowl or mixer combine all the Duffin ingredients and beat until just combined.
- Spoon enough mixture to cover the bottom of each muffin case (approximately 1-2 tablespoons) then add a teaspoon of the rhubarb compote and the clotted cream custard into the middle of the mixture.
- Add another 1 -2 tablespoons of the duffins mix, ensuring it completely covers the rhubarb and clotted cream custard
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until risen and golden
- Leave the duffins to cool for 5 minutes then carefully remove from their cases.
- Sprinkle extra caster sugar all over the duffins and allow to cool.
- Place the duffins on a board or in fresh muffin cases, top with a teaspoon of the custard and some rhubarb compote. Serve immediately.
