Oatmeal
Posset
This
is a traditional Scottish dessert with an unusual difference because
the recipe doesn't call for whisky! It calls for brandy. Oatmeal
is Scotland's all-purpose ingredient and once you taste this you'll
see why it won the place of honour!
INGREDIENTS
1
pt. (575 - 600 ml) Milk
2
tablespoon Oatmeal
1/4
teaspoon Salt
2
teaspoons Sugar
1/4
teaspoon Grated Nutmeg *(If nutmeg is not for you, use the same
quantity of mace, allspice or ginger.)
1
tablespoon Brandy
Instructions
Put
milk in a 2-pint (1.1 litre) pan, sprinkle with oatmeal and salt.
Heat quickly, stirring, until nearly boiling.
Remove
from heat, leave to stand for 10 mins.
Press
mixture through a sieve into a similar saucepan.
Add
sugar, nutmeg *; re-heat to nearly boiling, stirring to prevent
sticking.
Remove
from heat, stir in brandy, and serve at once.
