Lucky Tatties

The Lucky Tatties is a traditional treat coming from Scotland. It is flavoured with cassia and steamed and covered with cinnamon powder (theweesweetieshop.c0.uk, 2013). 

The ingredients required to create this delicious treats are:

Icing sugar

white fondant  

Cinnamon powder

Directions:

1. Dust a chopping board with icing sugar, much as you would with flour when preparing to roll baked items.
2. Place the fondant coin on a plate and carefully shake over a little cinnamon powder. Although the original lucky tatties had a fairly thick layer of cinnamon powder, you might find this too intense a flavour.

3. Press the powder lightly into the coin using your fingers. This is also the point to push randomly at the surface to create a more potato-like appearance.

4. Turn the coin over and repeat. You now have a lucky tatty. Repeat the process until you have as many lucky tatties as you require.

Scoop one or two tablespoons of white fondant and mould it into a large coin shape on the board. Make the shape somewhat irregular for a more authentic look. Turn the coin and let it pick up icing sugar until the surface is just slightly sticky, but not too much. (Willson, 2013)
