x In Scottish #folklore, brownies are spirits who do housework & farmyard tasks at night. Humans should leave them a bowl of milk or cream in gratitude. Brownies are naked or in rags, but if humans leave them gifts of clothes, they won't return to the house again. #mythologymonday pic.twitter.com/9spIjkPBuD — David Castleton (Author) (@david_castleton) November 16, 2020

x An old #Scottish name for Devil's-bit scabious is 'curl-doddy'. In #Fife there was a belief that brownies ( #faerie folk) could be summoned to help with cleaning homes and cowsheds by chanting:
"Curl-Doddy, do my biddin',
Soop my house and hool my midden."#FolkloreThursday pic.twitter.com/lhZvwum36l — VenetiaJane's Garden (@VenetiaJane) May 3, 2018

x The #Scottish brownie is a personage of small stature and wrinkled visage.
He is attached to certain families with whom he resides, even for centuries, helping with chores.
He expects to be paid with a bowl of cream or some fresh honeycomb.

Chocolate Mint Brownies
These Chocolate Mint Brownies are a three layer bar. The brownie layer has a deep chocolate flavor and a dense and fudgy texture. While wonderful on its own, it tastes even better with a layer of mint flavored cream and a thin coating of dark chocolate. www.joyofbaking.com/...

The #Hob (similar to the rural #Goblins, Scottish #Brownies & Whitby area #Boggles) are creatures who take up residence in your home. Often mischievous, the only way to get them to leave is to give them a new set of clothes 😀😀 pic.twitter.com/vHrrBVQijc — Joy Parry (@JoyParry13) March 26, 2020
