Modern recipe for the pudding Cranachan aka Cream Crowdie from "A Feast of
Scotland"

Ingredients

1/2 pint double cream (1 1/4 cup)
1 tablespoon Drambuie
3oz. pinhead oatmeal, toasted (1/3 cup)

Toast the oatmeal in a frying pan over a fairly high heat until it is
lightly browned.  Sift out any dust.  Whisk the cream to a soft consistency,
then mix in the Drambuie and tasted oastmeal.  Serve in glasses.

Variation, fold in about 6 oz (1 1/2 cups) of raspberries.
