Steps:
- Generously butter a 13x18-inch sheet pan or two 8x8-inch square pans, and set aside.
- Stir together condensed milk, cream, sugar, salt, and butter in a large (4-quart), heavy-bottomed saucepan. Place over medium heat, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. When the mixture has reached a boil, turn heat to low, and continue cooking and stirring, until a candy thermometer reaches between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of the mixture dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. This should take about 20 minutes.
- Once the mixture has attained a light tan color, remove from heat, and beat vigorously (but carefully!) with a wooden spoon until the mixture cools and thickens. Stop beating when you can feel the mixture turn from smooth to grainy. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Pour into the prepared pan. Don't scrape any crystallized bits from the bottom of the pan, or it may cause the whole batch to crystallize. While still warm, score the tablet into 2-inch squares with the tip of a paring knife. Allow to cool 6 hours to overnight until set. Cut into squares with a serrated knife. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

ABERDEEN BUTTERIES RECIPE (ALSO KNOWN AS ROWIES)
Butteries, also known as Rowies or even Aberdeen rolls, originated in the northeast of Scotland as an alternative bread roll for fisherman to eat while out at sea. If you've never tried a buttery, it's a bit of a cross between a roll and a croissant, as they're made with layers of pastry and a butter and lard mixture that give them a flakey texture. Some say they look a bit like a squashed croissant. It doesn't sound particularly appealing but they really are delicious!

Steps:
- Mix the yeast, sugar, and water, and set aside.
- In a large bowl mix the flour and salt.
- Slowly add the liquid and use a fork to bring it together.
- Once combined turn out onto a floured work surface and knead until it is elastic and smooth. You might need to sprinkle more flour over to knead in if the mixture is too wet and sticking.
- Form into a ball, place into a large bowl, score the top with an X, cover in clingfilm and put in a warm place for about an hour to allow it to expand in size (this is called proving).
- Measure out your butter and lard and cut into small pieces in a bowl to allow it to come to room temperature if it isn't already.
- After the dough is proved return to a lightly floured work surface and knead very gently before rolling out to a rectangle shape that is about 2/4 of an inch thick. Have the short edge facing you.
- Beat the butter and lard together with a wooden spoon so it's smooth and roughly split into 3 in the bowl.
- Using your hands, smear one-third of the butter and lard mixture over the lower two-thirds of your rectangle. Fold the top half (without the mixture) over onto the middle third, and then the bottom third up on top of that.
- Wait approximately half an hour and repeat the process again, but roll the dough the opposite way to how you have folded it.
- Wait another half hour and repeat for the last time, turning the dough again to roll the opposite way. You are basically creating layers in the pastry with the butter/lard mixture in between.
- Roll the dough out to about 3/4 of an inch thick and divide into around 15 pieces which you can then gently shape into rounds. Put these on a lightly floured baking tray (or two) and cover with a large plastic bag or lose cling film, and then allow to prove for a further 30 minutes. You'll want to space the rounds out to allow them to expand.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven to 200C/400F and when the butteries have finished proving place them into the oven for 15-20 minutes. Keep a close eye on them from the 15-minute mark! They should turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and move to a rack with a plate or paper towels underneath so they're not sitting in the fat on the tray.
- Allow to cool slightly before eating, or save for later! Serve with jam, or if you dare, even more butter!

ABERDEEN BUTTERIES (ROWIES)
Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, sugar and salt until well combined.
- Make a well in the centre of the mixture, then gradually add the water in a thin stream, stirring well with a wooden spoon, until the mixture comes together as a dough. (NB: You may not need to use all of the water.)
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead lightly for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the kneaded dough to a clean, greased bowl and cover with a greased sheet of cling film. Set aside in a warm place to rise (prove) for at least one hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, cream together the butter and lard until well combined. Divide the mixture into four equal portions.
- When the dough has proved, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a further 1-2 minutes.
- Roll out the dough into a 40cm x 20cm/16in x 8in rectangle, about 1cm/½in thick.
- Turn the dough around so that the shortest edge is facing you. Spread one portion of the butter and lard mixture over the bottom two-thirds of the dough rectangle.
- Fold the remaining one-third of the dough rectangle over onto the butter and lard mixture to cover the centre section of the dough rectangle. Fold the other end of the dough rectangle over the folded dough, so that the dough ends up three times its original thickness.
- Roll the dough out again to a 40cm x 20cm/16in x 8in rectangle, about 1cm/½in thick. Repeat the process of spreading and folding with another portion of the butter and lard mixture.
- Repeat the process twice more, until all of the butter and lard mixture has been used up and the dough has been rolled out a total of four times.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
- Roll the dough out again to a 40cm x 20cm/16in x 8in rectangle, about 1cm/½in thick. Cut the dough into 16 pieces and roll each into a round, flat bun shape.
- Transfer the buns to a lightly oiled baking tray and set aside for 40-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size again (leave enough space between them for expansion).
- When the buns have risen, bake them in the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they have risen further and are golden-brown and cooked through. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
- Serve each buttery warm, spread with butter and jam.

- Cranachan. Cranachan is a traditional Scottish pudding, similar to a trifle. It’s a layered dessert, consisting of whipped cream, toasted oats, and juicy raspberries.
- Scottish Tablet. Scottish tablet is often compared to fudge, but it really deserves some love on its own merits. It’s sweeter than fudge, and more crumbly.
- Scottish Shortbread. This is a great recipe for first-timers. If you’ve never made shortbread before, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to whip up a tray.
- Dundee Cake. Authentic Dundee Cake is a glorious thing. Rumoured to be the Queen’s favorite afternoon snack, this is a dense fruit cake flavored with nuts and spices.
- Clootie Dumplings. The amusingly-named clootie dumplings take their unusual moniker from a strip of cloth known as cloot. This baked pudding was traditionally wrapped in a rag, or cloot, and then steamed.
- Petticoat Tails. Petticoat tails are a traditional Scottish shortbread, cut into triangles or “tails.” They make a great holiday gift for the dessert lovers in your life or the perfect bite for Christmas parties.
- Scottish Tea Cookies. These tasty tea cookies are the ideal answer to the dreaded mid-afternoon slump. The perfect pick-me-up, they are basically little drop cookies – soft dough surrounding a fruit centre (in this case, tangy apple butter).
- Millionaire’s Shortbread. We have Mary Queen of Scots to thank for shortbread. The legendary queen made it popular in the 16th century, introducing an egalitarian treat enjoyed by the ruling classes and peasantry alike.
- Scottish Scones. Nobody does scones like the Scottish. Airy, light, buttery and soft, they’re an institution all over the British Isles, but especially up north.
- Scottish Macaroons. Yes, macaroons may be a classic French dessert, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give them a Scottish spin. While the French get fancy with meringue and almond paste, the Scots opted for the humble potato.

A dish of Rumbledethumps is the Scottish way of using up the leftover mashed potatoes and other vegetables to create a hearty, sustaining casserole-like side dish (or you can eat this on its own).
