Scot scran

[dunroaming]

I would have thought Dean would have made us some just to prove he's the masterbaker we thought he was.

Ordered my rowies.

What did that cost you

Not how did they taste, how long for delivery but 'how much?' From a guy who earns squillions of dollars a month. Bloody Aberdonians.

Oh, hold on. You said masterbaker. Sorry.

I am one of the best masterbaters around ,ask anyone

Bloody spell check that's what I meant anyway talking of Scots scran what about oatcakes great with stovies or cheese can you make them? And to save you the trouble here's the BBC link

^ Note to fellow Jockinese on UM, I have bought ALL the oatcakes that Marks & Spencer had on close down clearance at Central.

As Robert the Bruce said to John Comyn III of Badenoch, "You snooze, you lose... pal."

I made some bloody excellent crock pot stovies a few months back but held off making more after running out of oatcakes. But with my recent haul and along with Howie's beetroot, it's game on again.

Haud me back.

It's great being unemployed means you can be first in the queue anyway Dean will sort me out I'm sure, not the first time he will have served well done cooking

[papafarang]

My favorite is tattie scones with fried egg. Lorne sausage looks good. Oh forgot ,grandads name was McKie. Gran used to make a bacon buttie and always used the bread fried in bacon grease ,sloppy mess of bacon bread,butter and grease.awesome and probably illegal now

That's sad doing the washing just to watch the ironing getting done

Top tip , put it on the longest cycle . that way you won't have to rush around ,therefore saving energy

Sounds like there will be a fair bit of 'hinging aboot' the ironing table shortly

Tattie scones excellent.
Scotch pies : Pastry good but could be a bit thinner.
Filling: more like burger. Maybe a courser mince and some gravy,lard or stock.
Appreciate your efforts to please the Scottish community. Great work

The second batch I added onion and extra stock ,the problem is the mince comes ready ground very fine giving it the burger effect. Two ways around that problem ,one I could pre cook the mince but that would possibly make the lamb dry or two I could add a filler that would soften the texture. Work in progress as they say. I have some more lamb already so in a few days I'll try again

not being an expert on the Scotch pies finer points i reckon both batches were are dam good maybe the second shaded it but hard to say why , lamb is a treat in any guise to me .. i take mine with minted peas, just gravy or baked beans with a splosh of HP or Worcester sauce. Also good to eat warmed and on the hoof as the solid pastry doesnt break up and the contents spew out .. a good addition to PFs range imo.

What about the secret rowies trace n test plans , hows it going ???

Lard is not easy to work with , come the hot season its likely to be impossible . so anyway just got another kg of lamb out and going for the third recipe ,pastry seems to be 95% so the filling needs to be perfected . Top tip for today , if the pie has a burger consistency then put the pie in a burger bun

[tamada]

^ My recollections of Scottish pies when I was a lad, the meat was less congealed than a pork pie (or a lamb burger) and more like a mince (meat) pie but not overly saturated with gravy or stock. I think maybe pre-cooking or simply browning the ground lamb first as you suggested and then 'moisturizing' after the fact will do the trick.

I will have a stab at another batch myself once the laundry (and ironing) is done.

Better option Dean.

Might upset the jocks but I'm going for a BBC recipe, the thing with scotch pies is you can't lose any of the grease. To add insult we made scotch eggs , bloody English.
