Buttery (bread)
- Buttery (bread)
A buttery, also known as a rowie, rollie or Aberdeen roll, is a savoury Scottish
bread roll . They are noted for their flaky texture and buttery taste (hence the name), similar to a flattened, roundcroissant , with a very salty taste. They are often eaten toasted with jam or butter, although the high fat content makes them extremely hot when toasted.As the alternate name of "Aberdeen roll" suggests, butteries are a speciality of
Aberdeen but they are common throughout the North East of Scotland.They were created in the 1880s, to provide the growing Aberdeen
fishing industry a type of high-fat roll which would keep for longer periods at sea than conventional rolls.External links
