🥘 Ingredients

6 items

• 250 grams rolled oats
• 1 liter water
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 100 ml heavy cream (optional, for serving)
• 50 grams fresh berries (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. Place the rolled oats in a large bowl and cover them with 1 liter of water. Stir to combine and allow them to soak overnight (or at least 8 hours).

2. The next day, strain the oats through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a medium-sized saucepan, extracting as much liquid as possible by pressing down with a spoon.

3. Discard the oats and bring the extracted liquid to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

4. Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for about 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a creamy consistency.

5. Stir in the brown sugar and lemon juice, tasting and adjusting sweetness as desired.

6. Remove the flummery from heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference.

7. Optional: Pour the flummery into individual serving dishes and top with a drizzle of heavy cream and fresh berries for garnish.
