Ingredients. - Two gallons of liquor from meat. Half a pint of oatmeal. Two onions. Salt and pepper.

Time required, half an hour.

To make "Crowdie" or Scotch Broth:

1. Take two gallons of any meat-liquor, either salt or fresh, remove all the fat from it, and put it into a saucepan.

2. Put the saucepan on the fire to boil.

3. Take half a pint of oatmeal, put it into a basin, and mix it into a smooth paste with about a gill of the liquor.

N. B. - Half a pint of oatmeal is enough to thicken two gallons of liquor.

4. Peel two onions, put them on a board, and chop them up as fine as possible.

5. Stir the chopped onions into the paste, and add salt and pepper to taste.

N. B. - If salt liquor is used, salt should not be added.

6. When the liquor in the saucepan is quite boiling, stir in the paste smoothly.

7. Let it boil for twenty minutes, stirring it occasionally; it must not get lumpy.

8. For serving, pour it into the soup-tureen or basin.
