Sheep in the Highlands of Scotland ~ My visit in the Spring of 2009
This was only a “wee” glimpse of the view of sheep from my bedroom window in the Highlands of Scotland. I’ll never forget this trip in April of 2009. The surrounding area was full of newborns and their mothers. It was glorious!
So, as I’m thinking of the Highlands, I’m also thinking of the faeries. This recipe is perfect for summer breakfast, or a chilly morn. Actually, it’s delish anytime!
FAERIE PORRIDGE
1 quart of heavy cream
1 cup flour
¾ quart of milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Sugar and salt (to taste)
6 Strawberries, sliced
Bring cream to a full boil, stirring continuously, until foam is gone. Gradually add flour to make a thick mush. Stir until butter appears. Remove butter and set aside. In a separate pot, bring milk to a boil. Gradually add milk to the mush. Simmer 10-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens. Add sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Serve with sliced strawberries and butter.
Slainte!
This sounds like a refreshing change from my regular oatmeal. Thank you for something delicious to try.
You’re so welcome, Dianne. And with fresh strawberries in season this makes it extra special. Enjoy! 🙂
Oh my! Yum!
thank you for sharing
You’re so welcome, Lisa. 🙂 Sometimes, I’ll mix it up and add either blueberries, cranberries, or nuts.
I swore I’d never read your recipes again. I’m gaining weight already. But I couldn’t resist the temptation.
Thanks for sharing, Mary!
Bawhahaha! Oh, Carmen, you could always substitute low-fat milk for the whole milk, right?
So happy you stopped by. I’ll try for lighter recipes in the future. 😉
