Description

These Butteries have been carefully refined to honour the way they were traditionally made, restoring the depth of flavour and texture that made them a North East staple. By moving away from modern shortcuts and reintroducing time-honoured methods — including the use of lard — the result is a far superior version of this much-loved classic.

A firm favourite with locals and ex-pats alike, Butteries — also known as Rowies or Aberdeen Rolls — are a true taste of the North East of Scotland. These aren’t the pale imitations found on supermarket shelves, but the real thing: rich, flaky, and unmistakably indulgent.

Distinct from any ordinary roll, Butteries have a uniquely layered texture, somewhere between a croissant and a flatbread, with a satisfying savoury richness. Traditionally made to sustain fishermen heading out to sea, they were designed to be filling, flavoursome, and long-lasting.

Enjoy them warm with Butter, topped with jam, or simply on their own. However you eat them, these are proper Butteries — a proud slice of Scottish baking heritage, made the way they should be.

Cooking Tips

For the very BEST results..

Pop the butteries into the toaster, but here’s the crucial part — don’t remove them straight away once they pop. Thanks to their high fat content, they’ll be quite soft and a little soggy at first (much like freshly baked cookies straight from the oven).

Leave them for a few minutes to rest and cool a bit. This allows the outside to crisp up beautifully while dropping to a temperature that won’t burn your fingers. If you like, you can lift them out with wooden tongs and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly.

It’s this short cooling process that truly brings a buttery back to life — that lightly crispy, flaky exterior giving way to the soft, chewy centre we all recognise as a proper, old-fashioned buttery.
