RASPBERRY CREAM CROWDIE

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

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.
