Crowdie-Mowdie is a traditional Scottish steamed pudding made with simple pantry staples- oatmeal, salt, and milk. It is enjoyed as a dessert in Scotland and has a rich history dating back to the 16th century. Oatmeal was abundantly available in Scotland, making it a popular ingredient in their cuisine. With its nutty texture and unique flavor, this pudding was a favorite of the Scottish people for generations. Today, it is still a popular dessert to serve for cozy family dinners in Scotland.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix the oatmeal and salt well.
2.	Add the milk gradually while continuously stirring the mixture to get a thick batter-like consistency.
3.	Grease a 10-inch pudding bowl with butter and pour the mixture into the bowl.
4.	Cover the bowl with buttered parchment paper and tie a string around it to secure the paper.
5.	Place the pudding bowl in a large pot of boiling water over medium heat. The water should reach halfway up the bowl.
6.	Close the lid of the pot and let it steam for 2 to 2.5 hours.
7.	Check if the pudding is cooked by inserting a skewer in the center. If the skewer comes out clean, the pudding is ready.
8.	Remove the pudding bowl from the pot and let it cool down for 5 minutes.
9.	Loosen the pudding's edges with a knife, turn it over onto a plate, and serve hot with cream or a sauce of your liking.
