Scottish Recipes

Here at Baking with Granny, we take our Scottish baking very serious! Being based in Bonnie Scotland for many, many generations, we consider ourselves somewhat experts in all things Tablet, Shortbread and Oatcakes.

You’ll find all our Scottish recipes come from traditional family recipes; some with some modern changes when necessary, but always whilst maintaining their history & taste.

Thank you to our Granny, Great-Granny’s and Great-Great-Granny’s for their endless Scottish baking knowledge!
