Stir in the cranberries, raisins, syrup and a small amount of buttermilk if desired. Cover and let stand for 2 minutes., Transfer to 8 ungreased 6-oz. ramekins. Place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Broil 8 in. from the heat until sugar is caramelized, 4-7 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Crumble brown sugar onto a baking pan or shallow dish; let dry overnight. Press through sieve or grind in spice grinder. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan, bring milk and 3 1/2 cups water to a boil over medium-high heat; stir in oatmeal and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, 15 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until almost all liquid has been absorbed and oats are al dente, about 25 minutes.
• Transfer oatmeal to a 6-cup shallow ovenproof dish with 2-inch sides; sprinkle with dried brown sugar.
• Heat broiler, and broil oatmeal until sugar melts and forms a crust, about 2 minutes. Garnish with apple and pear chips, prunes, maple syrup, and cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Spread brown sugar out on a baking sheet and set aside overnight; force through a sieve or grind in spice grinder; set aside.
• Bring milk and water to a boil; stir in oatmeal and salt; cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring often; continue to stir occasionally, reduce heat and simmer 25 minutes or until oats are desired firmness and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
• Spoon oatmeal into serving bowls; sprinkle with dried brown sugar and using a mini torch, melt the sugar until it forms a golden crust.
• Alternatively, pour the oatmeal into a casserole dish and use the broiler to melt the sugar, about 2 minutes.
• Garnish with apple and pear chips and maple syrup.

Steps:

• For the apples and cranberries: Combine the water, sugar, cinnamon, cranberries, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 1 minute.
• Add the apples, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft but still retain some of their shape and the mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside while you make the oatmeal.
• For the oatmeal: Preheat the broiler. Put the milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the oatmeal, orange zest, and salt and cook until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Cover and let sit for 2 minutes. The oatmeal should be slightly loose, it will continue to thicken under the broiler.
• Divide half of the apple mixture between 2 10-ounce ramekins. Divide half of the oatmeal between the 2 ramekins and spoon on top of the apple mixture. Place the remaining apple mixture on top of the oatmeal then top the apple mixture with the remaining oatmeal. Smooth out the top of the oatmeal and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the sugar evenly over the top of each.
• Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and place until the broiler. Broil until the sugar is golden brown and bubbly and completely melted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest a few minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Cook oatmeal in water with a pinch of salt over medium heat for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat cream over low heat heat. Place star anise, cinnamon and orange zest in a small piece of cheesecloth and tie with cotton string. Add to cream and simmer about 10 minutes to infuse the cream. Whisk in maple syrup and cook until cream coats the back of a spoon. Remove the sachet of spices. Place 1/2 of the oatmeal in a heat proof bowl. Sprinkle an even layer of the fruits and nuts over the oatmeal, cover the second half of oatmeal. Sprinkle sugar over the top and place bowl under the broiler until sugar caramelizes, adding more sugar if necessary to achieve a crisp shell. Serve immediately with the maple cream.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly oil a 9 x 13 baking dish.
• In a large bowl, combine dry mix.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk wet mix well.
• Add wet mix to dry mix, stirring well.
• Pour mixture into prepared dish.
• Bake 40- 45 minutes- centre will be jiggly.
• Remove pan from oven, place pan on a cooling rack.
• Hand sprinkle brown sugar over top of oatmeal.
• Return pan to oven, bake until sugar melts, 2- 3 minutes.
• Remove pan to cooling rack.
• Set oven to broil.
• Set pan under broiler 3 inches from heat till sugar bubbles and browns slightly, 1- 2 minutes (watch carefully for burning, turn pan if needed).
• Remove pan from broiler and spoon mixture into serving bowls.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place 6 ramekins on a towel set in a roasting pan at least 3 inches deep.
• Stir together cream and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook until very hot, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Whisk together egg yolks, vanilla, and Irish cream until combined. Slowly add 1/3 of the hot cream, whisking it in 2 tablespoons at a time until incorporated. Once you have incorporated 1/3 of the cream, you can stir in the remaining hot cream without fear of the mixture curdling.
• Pour custard into the ramekins, then fill roasting pan with boiling hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake in preheated oven until set, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Once the custard has set, place ramekins on a wire rack, and allow to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover, and refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours. Custards may remain refrigerated until ready to serve.
• Unwrap the custards, and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of superfine sugar onto each. Gently shake the custards so the sugar coats the entire top surface, then tip the custards to a 45 degree angle and shake off excess sugar.
• Using a small hand torch, melt the sugar by making short passes over top of the custards with the flame not quite touching. Continue melting the sugar until it turns deep brown. Once the sugar has melted and turned to caramel, the cold custard underneath will harden the sugar into a crispy crust. Serve immediately. Alternatively, the sugar-dusted custards may be browned underneath the broiler in the oven.

Steps:

• In a bowl cream the butter with the brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy and beat in the flour, the milk, and the vanilla. Stir in the oats, drop rounded teaspoons of the dough about 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets, and bake the cookies in batches in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden. Let the cookies stand on the sheets for 1 minute, or until they are just firm enough to be moved with a metal spatula. (If desired, turn the cookies upside down on the sheets and, working quickly, roll them into cylinders on the sheets. If the cookies become too hard to roll, return them to the oven for a few seconds and let them soften.) Transfer the cookies to a rack and let them cool completely.

Steps:

• Place oats in a bowl, and cover with water by 2 inches. Cover bowl, and let stand overnight.
• In a small saucepan, combine cream, star anise, cinnamon stick and orange zest. Bring mixture to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove spices and orange. Whisk maple syrup into cream, increase heat to medium-high and simmer until mixture thickens enough to coat back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, drain oats and place them in a saucepan with 3 1/4 cups water. Simmer over medium heat until tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Stir in salt.
• Preheat broiler. In a small bowl, combine dried fruit and nuts. Divide half the oatmeal among four broiler-proof bowls or large ramekins, then top with fruits and nuts. Cover with remaining oatmeal, and smooth tops. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over each, and place under broiler. Broil until sugar caramelizes and forms a crust, about 1 to 2 minutes. Watch carefully so sugar doesn't burn. Serve immediately with maple cream.
