This delicious Scottish smoked trout and tattie scones recipe is absolutely perfect as a Christmas starter or on a sharing nibble plate but be warned they are so addictive and you may need to make more than you think!

The lovely smoked trout from The Tobermory Fish Co was absolutly delicious and I would like to highly recommend trying it. You willl find out a wee bit more about them down below but for the recipe I have used the fluffy tattie (potato) scone recipe on my website to create some lovely tiny tattie scones.

The freshly made tattie scones are spread with some fresh crowdie cheese and some of my own homemade butternut squash chutney. I added little pieces of the delicate slices of cold smoked trout on the top of that to create a lovely Christmas style nibble. Be sure to make many though as they are so delicious they dissapear very quickly.

Tips for making this recipe –

• Homemade tattie scones are so fluffy and delicious fresh out of the pan I would highly recommend making then homemade but if you don’t have time and want to speed up the recipe you can buy shop bought scones and cut out small circles using a cookie cutter. Just heat them up a little in the pan beforehand.
• Homemade crowdie cheese is very straight forward and easy to make but again if you want to speed things up you can use shop bought crowdie cheese or spreadable cream cheese.
• I used my homemade chutney I made with butternut squash but feel free to choose any chutney of choice. A red onion chutney would also work really well with this recipe.
• The tattie scone recipe creates a delicate dough. Try to handle it lightly and add additional flour in if nessecary as different potatoes create different results. Your dough should be very light and handled carefully.
• Add a lovely glitzy touch by giving your nibbles a spray with an edible cake decorating glitter spray. This would look all pretty and sparkly on the Christmas table.
