Crowdie

[Kenn]

Can any one give me the recipe for making this? What sort of milk do I need to use?

Lizz I think you need real milk, the un-pasteurised kind

The milk has to be unpasteurised. It just doesn't work with the stuff we get today. Gone are the days of a fresh batch of crowdie to which the "top of the milk" was added. Instead we have to buy it (when you can find somewhere that sells it) in those tiny tubs with hardly enough for a couple of "pieces" in them.
Come to think of it gone is "the top of the milk" too - you fairly miss it for the porridge!

I can get the milk, but need to know how you make it.

Mackays Halkirk sell crowdie -- it is absolutely wonderful, far better than your other soft cheeses which are all usuallly fairly bland. They also occasionally sell home made butter -- you should also try their home made baking, flour, treacle, bere scones, pancakes and many other scrumptious delights.

That reminds me -would anybody have a recipe for bere scones I wonder?

I remember wonderful special occasion teas back in the 50s and 60s when we'd have home made bere scones, flour scones & treacle scones...often crowdie, a honeycomb, home made jam of course, teabread, Victoria sponge....ooh, it makes me feel sooo hungry!
