A staple of the Scottish Highlands, this pudding proves that the amount of effort expended into a dessert can be in inverse proportion to the enjoyment in return. It’s stupidly easy, yet so satisfying on a dark autumnal or winter night. Don’t take the quantities too seriously - this is meant to be adjusted to your taste
This is one version, which I've adopted a few points from for this other version: http://experimentalmouffette.blogspot.com/2019/10/atholl-brose-untested.html
4 tbsp medium porridge oats
(or 3 tbsp oats + 1 tbsp ground almonds)
4 tbsp whisky
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp honey
- First, spread the porridge oats (or combined oats/ground almonds) on a baking tray and put under the grill on a low heat to toast gently. Keep an eye on it, remove the minute it is gently browned.
- Set aside to cool.
- Combine the whisky, lemon juice and honey in a bowl, then add the cream and whisk into soft peaks.
- Fold in the toasted oats, turn into cups or glasses and chill.
- Serve garnished with a stick of cinnamon, a twist of lemon zest, or homemade thin shortbread rounds.
