There are some nice recipies from my book, The Best Of Scottish Cooking ( Dione Pattulio).
Many from the 'sweets' and 'baking' chapters refer to 'syrup'. Is this just a simple sugar syrup, and if so, what is the sugar to water ratio. or something entirely specific.? And then, one recipe measured out 'a teacup of sugar'. Is a teacup the same as a standard cup measure? Now, Aberdeen Butteries, recipe refers to 8oz 'strong flour'. What would be the translation for 'strong flour'. My guess is that it is NOT 'cake flour'. Would I be correct?
Scottland and the USA might both speak a form of English, but my cook book leaves little doubt about the differences between our two countries.
Any additional suggestions for what I might also encounter would be helpful. (Love haggis by-the-way. Want to make that too. I had it once many years ago and found it delicious and savory! It was served at a New Years dinner)
Speaking of New Years, have a happy upcoming 2007!
Much thanks!
