Stotties

---

Well, the world's gone upside down ..

We're all cooped up inside, allowed out once a day and there's nee stotties left!

So here's a quick and easy traditional stottie recipe for you to make at home while we're all in lockdown. They don't take too much work and are great fun to make with the kids.

They take a bit of elbow grease mind, as you need to knead the dough for 10-15 minutes. This is a traditional recipe which you might find a little tougher than some of the store-bought versions, but it's a really tasty loaf!

The term comes from our local word 'Stott' which means bouncy, so you can understand why it's a bit more doughy. Anyhoo, less chattin' and more snackin'.
