SCOTTISH CREAM CROWDIE WITH RASPBERRIES
This is a name that isn't really known on these shores, although there may be a small group or two of people of Scottish descent who use it. It is an Anglicized version of an old Gaelic (Scottish) word for curd. A crowdie was a porridge (or pudding) and was usually eaten for breakfast. This version is one that was used on special occasions at harvest time. Although a crowdie doesn't traditionally include fruit, it, like any breakfast cereal, is certainly lifted to another level when it is included. Adapted from King Arthur flour.

RASPBERRY CREAM CROWDIE
Crowdies are traditional Scottish desserts, first served to celebrate the autumn harvest. Naturally, they include whisky among their ingredients, but that can be omitted! To keep your dessert course purely Scottish, serve this Raspberry Cream Crowdie with rich Scottish shortbreads. I am posting this recipe, from one adapted from an International Masters '1001 recipes for pan or wok' recipe card, for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. Vary the berries to suit taste preferences. Crowdies may be largely prepared ahead, but are best assembled just before being served: that way the oats stay crisp. The preparation and cooking times below do not include the several hours cooling time required after you have made the crowdies.

Steps:
- Put the oatmeal or oats in a heavy-based, preferably non-stick, pan and cook over a low heat, stirring constantly until they are toasted and golden. Allow to cool before use.
- Meanwhile, pour the cream into a mixing bowl and whip until soft peaks form, then gradually whisk in the honey and whisky (if you are including this). Set aside.
- After you have removed the stems, washed and carefully dry the raspberries, place a few raspberries in the base of 4 dessert glasses, top with a little cream mixture and sprinkle with some oatmeal or oats. Continue layering the raspberries, cream and oatmeal, finishing with a layer of raspberries and oatmeal. Chill until required.
- Notes: To prevent the oats from becoming soggy, chill the cream mixture at the end of step 2, and assemble the desserts just before serving.
- Alternative: For slightly larger serves, with more of the creamy mixture, use 150ml of double cream and 150ml of yoghurt, mixed together, with honey and whisky then whisked into the blended cream/yogurt. The yogurt I always buy is a very creamy, slightly sweet Greek yogurt which I get at a local delicatessen. When I make this recipe I intend using this instead of cream.

SCOTTISH CROWDIE
The true origins of, and recipe(s) for crowdie somehow got lost over the centuries. Even the origin of the word "crowdie" is a subject of debate. Today, it is generally accepted that crowdie is a semi-cooked soft cheese without rennet. It has a unique taste and most folks either love it or hate it. Please note that the cooking time will vary greatly because one cannot predict how long it will take for the milk to curdle and for the whey to drain.

Steps:
- Pour the milk into a pan and heat it slowly and carefully over very low heat.
- You must watch it constantly until it curdles.
- DO NOT allow the milk to boil or even to simmer, or the curds will harden.
- When the curd has set, allow it to cool before you attempt to drain the whey.
- Line a colander with a clean muslin cloth (double-layered or triple-layered cheesecloth makes a fair substitute if you don't have muslin), and transfer the curds into it.
- Leave the colander alone until most of the whey had drained and then squeeze out the last of the whey by hand.
- Mix the crowdie with a little salt until it has attained a smooth texture.
- Lastly, blend the crowdie with a little cream, put the mixture in a dish and allow to rest in the refrigerator.
