The morning roll[1] is an airy, chewy bread roll popular in Scotland.
The well-fired roll is given a stronger flavour in its bulk fermentation and baked at a higher temperature.[2][3][4][5]
In Fife, a cabin biscuit or cabin roll (/ˈkeɪ.bɪn/ or /ˈkæ.bɪn/) is a local variant. Originating in Buckhaven, extra sugar was added to extend the life of the roll, for use by crews on fishing boats. They bear distinctive prick marks on top.[6][7][8] It is a bread roll and not similar to a biscuit in the conventional British or American sense.
Scottish morning rolls are not traditionally purchased from supermarkets, but from bakeries, newsagents,[9] corner shops, butcher shops, and fish and chip shops. Recently, however, supermarkets such as the Scotmid and Spar have made deals with local bakeries[10] to provide the rolls in-store.
