I've been reading books by the writer Stuart MacBride. They are set in Aberdeen, Scotland, and are filled with references to bacon butties and the like. I got curious about rowies, apparently an extremely fat laden bun similar to a croissant.

There are a few recipes online, but all are different.

This one looks interesting, but it's difficult to tell since I've never had one. But am having the urge to make them. Anyone have a recipe?
