Clotted cream (Cornish: dehen molys, sometimes called scalded, clouted, Devonshire or Cornish cream) is a thick cream made by indirectly heating full-cream cow's milk using steam or a water bath and then leaving it in shallow pans to cool slowly.

"caming" IS a word. It's what the lead in a stained glass window is called! It's not a new word, or a slang word, or a non-English word - poo!
4:41 pm
Gillie
It does seem to be a "industry" term, so likely fairly new, although the use of "came" for the same thing is older.
4:43 pm
Gillie
Merriam Webster has a definition for "came" (in this sense), but not "caming".
