This is one of the Scottish Highlanders' oldest recipes. It used to be that in order to make this, you needed a cow. The cow would be milked directly into the bowl with the other ingredients. But for your convenience, you can skip the cow! This is one very rich and creamy dessert! Recipe: Traditional Scottish Cookery mycitycuisine.org
