Get the latest French flavored recipes from Group Recipes. http://www.grouprecipes.com/tag/french The Aberdeen Buttery or Rowie is a breakfast roll similar in style to the French Croissant. The Buttery is unique to the North East of Scotland and originated (as the name suggests) as having an extremely high fat content and made by fishermen during the long periods at sea. The lard and butter stored well and when the Buttery was cooked, it helped insulate the men from the cold winds and conditions of the North Sea. I must add this is an acquired taste, but we always force these Butteries on vistors to the city and most people find them tasty if not a bit fatty for their taste. Bakers across the North East of Scotland jelously guard their age old recipes. Most people and households have their favourite bakers as every Buttery or Rowie is different from shop to shop. In Aberdeen there is the famous Aitkens rolls, light and crispy. Chalmers produce a more softer and equally tasty roll. But if you head out to places like Buckie, Portknockie, Cullen and Portsoy which are all fishing villiages, the variety of rolls is amazing. All so different and all perfect in their own unique way. I have been practicing trying to make Butteries for around 20 odd years and it is only now I am comfortable about putting my own tried and tested recipe onto the web. http://www.grouprecipes.com/106737/aberdeen-traditional-butteries-or-rowies.html A smooth and creamy pumpkin pie is made with fresh sugar pumpkin, a premade pie crust, and French vanilla coffee creamer, brown sugar, and a little cinnamon for flavor. http://www.grouprecipes.com/105844/vanilla-walnut-pumpkin-pie.html Garlic bread stuffed with crab- couldnt get more yummers! http://www.grouprecipes.com/104827/crab-garlic-bread.html Got little history FACT: The sandwich was created in the late 1920s by chef Joe Schweska at a Leland Hotel in Springfield, Illinois located on the corner of Sixth and Capitol (now an office building, more info below http://www.grouprecipes.com/104081/horseshoe-sandwich.html This recipe is by Tyler Florence http://www.grouprecipes.com/103091/baked-breakfast-apples-with-french-toast-crust.html Good ol Cornbread with french fried onions http://www.grouprecipes.com/102374/french-fried-onion-cornbread.html I found this recipe and thought I would post it for my Bread pudding friend....
