Recipe #4 - Crulla

This recipe is mainly associated with Aberdeen and is thought to be linked with doughnuts that were brought into Scotland by the Dutch fishing fleets. Reminded me of a waffle and a doughnut... very yummy and quite easy to make!!

Frying the first batch  

Dusted with a little bit of icing sugar and ready to enjoy!!!

Rhubarb, rhubarb and more rhubarb!

Well, I've had a busy day in the Croft 2a kitchen. I've spent most of the day making rhubarb crumbles and rhubarb tarts. I've had a go at making rhubarb and vanilla jam and rhubarb and ginger jam, not sure if it will set but I'll let it cool and see what happens!!

There's even enough rhubarb left to make some chutney tomorrow!
