[[File:Flum1.JPG|thumb|right]] '''Flummery''' is a [[starch]]-based [[dessert]] that originated in the [[United Kingdom]]. It is traditionally made from [[oatmeal]] or [[cornflour]] and has a smooth, jelly-like consistency. Flummery was a popular dish in the 17th and 18th centuries and has seen various adaptations over time.

==History==
Flummery has its roots in [[Wales]], where it was known as ''llymru''. The dish was originally made by soaking [[oats]] in water for several days, then straining and boiling the mixture until it thickened. This early version of flummery was often served with [[honey]] or [[fruit]].

In the 18th century, flummery became popular in [[England]] and [[Scotland]], where it was adapted to include [[cornflour]] and other ingredients. The dish was often flavored with [[rose water]], [[orange flower water]], or [[lemon]] zest.

==Ingredients and Preparation==
Traditional flummery is made using the following ingredients:
* [[Oatmeal]] or [[cornflour]]
* [[Water]] or [[milk]]
* [[Sugar]]
* Flavorings such as [[rose water]], [[orange flower water]], or [[lemon]] zest

To prepare flummery, the starch (oatmeal or cornflour) is mixed with water or milk and cooked over low heat until it thickens. Sugar and flavorings are then added, and the mixture is poured into molds to set. Once set, flummery can be served with [[cream]], [[fruit]], or [[syrup]].

==Variations==
Over time, flummery has evolved to include various regional and modern adaptations. Some popular variations include:
* [[Fruit]] flummery: Made by adding pureed or chopped fruit to the mixture.
* [[Chocolate]] flummery: Made by adding [[cocoa powder]] or melted chocolate.
* [[Alcoholic]] flummery: Made by adding a small amount of [[liqueur]] or [[wine]].

==Cultural Significance==
Flummery was once a staple in British cuisine and was often served at [[banquets]] and [[festivals]]. It was considered a luxurious dessert due to its smooth texture and delicate flavors. Today, flummery is less common but still enjoyed in some regions as a nostalgic treat.
