Scones will forever remind me of my first job. It was a little café-come-florists and I was a waitress at age 15, working for £3.50/hour. Alongside countless cappuccinos, lattes and americanos, the most popular order was Cherry Scones.

Let me be honest here. This is a recipe I have made time and time again, with the intention of sharing it here on Baking with Granny. But every time I make some Tattie Scones I face the same issue… I eat them all before I get a chance to photograph them!

Whenever I ask people what recipe they would like to see the most on Baking with Granny, Scottish Macaroons is the one that is requested, more than any other recipe. Always with one stipulation…”the kind made with potato!”

There’s a handful of things which Granny has baked throughout my childhood, that to this day can transport me back in time. Just the mere smells of meringues baking takes me back to Granny’s kitchen circa 1998, when she used to churn out dozens of them for the local cafes to serve.
