MacNean House and Restaurant 50m · ⭐️🎄CHRISTMAS CAKE & AUNTIE MAUREEN’S CHRISTMAS PUDDING🎄⭐️ Its the time of year to get ahead for all your Christmas baking! Neven is sharing his Christmas Cake recipe & his Auntie Maureen’s Christmas Pudding. A tried & tested recipe over the years with fantastic feedback. The plum pudding is a regular appearance on our menu at MacNean House over the Christmas weeks & features in our Christmas Hamper this year!
Porridge is one of our most popular breakfasts in the restaurant, and this recipe goes down a treat. On cold winter mornings, it gets you off to a good start and takes no more than 10 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
100 g (4oz) porridge oats (organic if possible)
300 ml (1/2 pint) whole-fat milk (plus extra if necessary)
4 dsp clear honey
4 dsp irish mist
150 ml (1/4 pint) cream (optional)
Method
Simmer the porridge oats and milk together in a saucepan for 8-10 minutes, until the mixture is slightly thickened, stirring all the time. It is important that the porridge has a nice soft dropping consistency so add a little more milk if you think that it needs it.
To serve, spoon the porridge into warmed bowls. Drizzle each one with some honey and Irish mist and finally, serve with cream if you wish.
