The first time was to shoot the photo session, and the second time I cooked it to excite my guests by the miracle of cold-smoking process and its special flavour.

And today I have another Scottish recipe for you. Are you ready?

  6. Stir well until smooth
  7. For tasty pancakes, cover the dough and put it in a warm place for 1 hour
