Scottish Crowdie Recipes

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.

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.

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.
