Ahh ... have you seen some of the Qs and As on that page? :D

Q: Cuming fae the jewel of Scotland, Glesga ken,we dinnae huv ane o these roll thingys doon here, so me an yon young team wid be happy tae cum up tae the sheep sha.... land an tak it aff yees fur a boatle o the bru! ken..like..

A: Just been in touch wee Mikey Cain at the Waterfront bar, the Rowie and a team of casuals would be happy if ye were tee come up!!!!

Q: Hello, i am very impressed by your rowie, and am keen to place a bid, but i need assurances about my safety, as i believe the winning bidder , would have to pick up the items from aitkens in torry.Would it be possible to make sure it is handed over , on a day when the council are nae emptying the bins, as i am afraid of the legendary giant killer torry (never seen the sea in their lives)gulls, and i am scared that as i walked away with the rowies, i may be set upon by a pack of these ravenous brutes, and not only me , but the fabled rowie could be devoured. is there a likelyhood of the rowie being gull proof, by adding real food ingredients too it, and thus discouraging these killers, as they only eat shit? please give me assurances for me and my future babies. thanks

A: Hello there. Now, i have been in touch wee the council who have assured me the backets are emptied on a monday morning at Glenbervie Road. This will keep the number of Torry Eagles to a minimum, as most of them will be doon at Girdleness Road, as they dinae get emptied until Thursday. I hiv also spoked tee Shuggy Anderson, who was the Vermon Control Officer at the Council, but retired just over 3 years ago. Shuggy has nae long bought a new Webley Osprey.22 air rifle off Ebay. He is still in contact wee Jimmy Much at the council fa is Clerk Of Works for Torry Zone 2, which takes in Glenbervie Road. Jimmy is willing to let Shuggy into Flat 13C, which is currently boarded up, at the time you would be picking up the Rowie. This flat faces directly onto Aitkens Bakery, therefore providing cover in the event a rogue Torry Eagle should make a dive for the Rowie, Shuggy would hiv a clear shot. I hope this has reassured you that we have taken all steps feasible. And your safety is our number 1 concern!!!

Q: Aye an' seein' aa 'is taak aboot rowies minte me o a boy I kent fae Torry 'at hid an aaler brither caad Spootie. Now Spootie gaed oot on u toon ae necht (aye a lang time ago) an got himsael fair haimert. He ended up in the Ritzy, dunsin we some horse fae Mastrick. Now this horse hid a loon at wis stunnin at the bar nae happy, an' he wisnae jist the cliverest o gadjees, so faan he seen his bloen dunsin wee Spootie it ended up wi a scuffle in the lavvys. Spootie ended up gettin chucked oot an hid tae geng tae the Bridge bar - far a lassie his tae stan up tae p1sh. Fits 'is got tae dee we rowies I hear ye askin - weel, the same necht at aboot three in the mornin, Spootie woke up, face doon in the dubs in Union Terrace gairdens, we his bricks doon at his nees an' a rowie wedjed atween the chicks o his erse. Tae this day he's nae idea fit haipend but am nae paein dough for ony rowie comin fae aiberdeen faan 'at kind o thing gengs on.

A: Hey min, ye erse. That horse fae Mastrick wiz in fact my cousin Mandy Thompson fae Bremner Crescent in Northfield, the only reason she said that she wiz fae Mastrick cause she didnae want blokes taking her up the road for her money. And you can tell Spookie next time i see him in the Metro he'll be seing stars!!!

Q: Fit like the day noo. Could ye tell ma fitna branch o Aitken's did the Rowie hail fae, it's jist that a quine I ken fae skool ca'd 'Snottery Annie'works in the Torry branch and she is an affa fool hooer an a ken for a fact that she has been seen to drap a boggie or twa in the concoction that they mak to mak a rowie.(she also has anither job doon by the hairbor at nicht). Aye aye, fit like Annie. Hooever, Auld Dod ma faither in law fae Torry says that a Snottery Annie boggie wid never put him aff o his rowie an swears that if you smear some o Morrice the Butchers potted heid on't then boggie or nae boggie, yeel niver ken the difference. PS Annie, if yer readin iss, fars ma £5 change ye thievin hooer. Tootaroo

A: Well, your description is pap on. I can tell you she was sacked just afore christmas for washing her hands in a toilet bowl, as Doddy the plumber was in fitting new sinks. Abody found it strange, cause she never washed her hands, but apparently she had a new boyfriend fae Balnagask Road she was trying to impress...
 
Sadly no. Not till @4am Monday morning.

However, I do know a couple of places who take extra rowies from them to fill the gap! :D

Might even have to go to one soon. Dinn't go on a rowie run last night & now regret it! :oops: :D

*have binged on butteries and have one left (strokes furred arteries)*

don't think so...kelly is nae bad.........i these are the chaps 'Culter Bakery/Coffee shop' on the left hand side of the road when heading inland ;)
 
Ok, I know where you are now. Not been in there for a long time & I think probably before they opened the coffeeshop.
 
Bumped to keep it on the top of the boards.

Not had a rowie for a few weeks so I will have to rectify that at the weekend. Shall I post photos? :D
 
Breakfast awaits:

The joys of Aberdeen's late-night bakeries. 6 rowies, 6 pancakes - £1.

I think I might be feeling better at last! :D
 
Bump! :)

A couple more recipies:

400g/ 14 oz plain flour
25g/ 1oz yeast
lukewarm water
115g/4 oz lard
2 tsp salt
3 tsp sugar
butter




Sift flour into a warmed basin. Cream sugar and yeast in a cup and mix with a little luke

warm water. Pour onto flour and mix well adding sufficient warm water to form a rather

firm dough. Cover and leave in a warm place for 45 minutes. Roll out, sprinkle on the salt,

then place lard onto the dough in walnut sized pieces and fold as for puff pastry. Roll out

(not too thinly), cut into small squares and turn in the corners. Cover and leave to rise for

a further 45 minutes. Put a knob of butter on each buttery and bake for approximately 20

minutes at 230C/ 450F/ Gas 8 until lightly browned.
Ingredients



Ingredients:
1 pound plain flour
6 ounces butter
4 ounces lard
1 heaped teaspoon salt
2 heaped teaspoons sugar
1/2 ounce fresh yeast
1/4 pint of tepid water


Sieve the flour and salt into a large bowl and set aside for a moment. Cream the fresh yeast, sugar and a little of the tepid water together and add to the bowl of flour. Mix the ingredients together with enough water to make a smooth firm dough. Transfer the dough to a well floured surface and knead well for about five minutes. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a warm slightly damp cloth and set aside in a warm place for about an hour to allow the yeast do its work of expanding the dough to about double its original size. While the dough is rising cream together the butter and lard in readiness for the next step. When the dough has risen knead it again and then roll it out on a floured surface and then spread it with a third of the butter\lard mixture and sprinkle lightly with flour. Fold the dough in three and roll it out again. Repeat the procedure twice more. Roll out the dough quite thinly and cut into squares.

Bring the four corners of each square to the centre, shape them into rounds and flatten slightly with hand - do not over handle the dough. Place the uncooked rolls onto a floured and warm baking tray and leave them in a warm place to rise for about half an hour to 40 minutes. Bake the rolls in a hot oven (200 C/ 400 F) for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Apparently, if you want to add that final "Aitkens" Special touch, you add some Tate & Lyle's Golden Syrup to the mix, instead of Sugar & use a bit more than just plain sugar - experiment! :)
 
And here is another one:

350gr plain flour
1 teesp salt
1 teesp sugar
7 grms dried yeast
250ml tepid water
120 grms lard
100grms margerine


1. mix flour,salt,sugar yeast and water with an electric mixer for about 10 mins. Leave for an hour in a warm place

2. mix lard and margarine to a smooth paste

3. roll out dough and spread with some paste, fold this twice and roll out again repeat this three times (it´s a real messy job, but worth it)
4. cut into 15 squares and tuck in the corners. Leave to go for another hour.
5. Press rolls lightly with your knuckles and put in a very hot oven for 15 mins

:)
