Cranachan

This is a popular Scottish dessert and there are many variations and names such as Cream Crowdie.


Ingredients:

3 oz (half cup) pinhead or coarse oatmeal
Half pint double cream
1 tablespoon Drambuie (optional)

Method:
Toast the oatmeal in a frying pan on a high heat until lightly brown.  Whisk the cream into a soft consistency and mix in the oatmeal and Drambuie  (alternatively, use a few drops vanilla essence or other flavouring of your choice).  Serve in tall glasses.  A popular variation is to mix in 6oz (one and a half cups) of fresh raspberries.  Or use vanilla ice cream instead of cream.
