how do i make a Scottish desert?

Question

My daughter works for a day care center. Her job for Christmas is to make a Scottish dish. Probably on the order of cookies or small cakes. Something that would be paletable and eye appeling for them. Thank you. Lee

Answer 1

Cranachan would probably be a good one.
I've put a link below of a fairly good recipe and it is simple to make in quantity if needs be.
"Double Cream"="Heavy Cream"
Whisky... only enough for taste rather than any inebriation LOL
Honey... clear runny honey is best
Toasted oatmeal... use pinhead/coarse oatmeal and toast in a dry frying pan for a few minutes until lightly brown
Some people gently fold in the raspberries... gives the dish a more rustic feel
You don't need the shortbread served with it... that is more for fancy restaurants and I don't think it actually adds anything to the dessert.
Tablet is more a confection than dessert and can be a sod to make and get right LOL

Answer 2

How about traditional Scottish shortbread cookies. You can cut them into shapes and decorate them or simply sprinkle them with white or colored sugar. Here is a simple recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Grannys-Shortbread-Cookies/Detail.aspx

Answer 3

So far the only scottish desert I have heard of is called a tablet. and it is fudge without the cocoa if you can imagine.
