cream and butter

   Nothings better than a bowl of warm Amish baked oatmeal with cream before heading off to the work in minus temps and blowing snow.

2 cups quick-cooking oats

1 cup milk

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup butter

The Amish know how to cook - cream, butter, eggs and sugar!

I was fortunate to grow up in a time where these ingredients weren't off-limits

and (that's a big AND) our dad worked in a creamery.

We never ran out of dairy products! 1190

Mr b loves this recipe enough to make it for himself.
