A light, nourishing dish, served mainly as an invalid food. It was also given to the mother of a new-born baby as it was considered to have certain qualities to help her produce milk for the infant.
Put a quantity of oatmeal in an earthenware crock, cover with cold water and leave to stand overnight.
Strain, and bring the liquid to the boil.
Pour in the milk and add the sugar and salt to taste.
Re-boil for a further few minutes.
Work the oatmeal through a fine sieve, pour cold milk over it and boil for about ten minutes, adding salt and sugar to taste.
Dyffryn Ardudwy, Merioneth.

Dear Priscilla,
Thank you very much for spotting an error on this page. We had entered a Welsh list of ingredients where there should have been one in English, and vice versa. Thanks to your bringing this to our attention we have now corrected the page.
Best wishes,

I just about figured it out but should the ingredients be listed in English if the recipe is?
