A recipe from the Shetland island of Whalsay, Hufsie is a classic spiced tea loaf. Whalsay is known as the Bonnie Isle, and if you ever visit, keep a lookout during the ferry crossing and you may see why the Vikings called it Hvals-øy – the island of whales. This bake should be served with a thick layer of butter and is perfect for when your auntie comes round for a cuppa and a cèilidh!
