Crowdie-Mowdie is a classic Scottish pudding that has been enjoyed for centuries. It's a simple but comforting dessert that is perfect for cold winter nights. The pudding is made from just three ingredients - oatmeal, milk, and salt - which are combined to create a thick and hearty batter. The pudding is then steamed for several hours until it's cooked through and has a soft, moist texture. Crowdie-Mowdie is often served with a dollop of cream or a scoop of ice cream, which helps to balance out the richness of the pudding.

1.	Mix the oatmeal and salt in a mixing bowl
2.	Gradually stir in the milk until you have a smooth batter
3.	Pour the mixture into a greased pudding basin
4.	Cover the basin with a lid or foil
5.	Place the basin in a large pot of boiling water
6.	Steam the pudding for 2 1/2 to 3 hours
7.	Serve hot with cream or ice cream
