Here we have a traditional Scottish dessert often dished up on 31st December, or Hogmanay, as we Scots like to call it. Watch out that you don’t eat too much of it or you may find yourself getting a little tipsy as it contains alcohol. I’m sure you’ll agree that it is a very tasty little dish. Also very quick and easy to make.
