Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Butteries are a kind of bread roll made with butter and lard. They come from the North East of Scotland, near Aberdeen - I've only seen them down here a couple of times and never tried them. The lard would deter me. http://www.scottishrecipes.co.uk/butteries.htm Christie , Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower wrote: > > Is butteries, butter???? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 No, butteries are, well, the best way to describe them is a North-East Scots equvalent of teh croissant. Except they are round and flat with an undulating surface. Preparation is similar though, in that you use butter and lard teh same way one does with a croissant. Very salty, very artery cloggingh, but absolutely delicious. oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
