A ‘cloot’ is a cloth in which we boil a mixture of flour, fat, fruit, sugar and spices to produce the most delicious (in my opinion) cake-like dessert that can be eaten hot, cold, alone, with a selection of toppings, grilled, steamed, fried and served with or after any meal of the day.
Clootie dumpling is versatile, it’s tasty, it’s filling and it’s one of Scotland’s most cherished recipes that gets handed down from generation to generation, with each family having its own special recipe.
My original recipe from Great Granny Kerr has been adapted to create a dumpling that’s fit for Royalty.

This form of pudding is what we eat every Christmas. I use my great grandmother Maxwell's recipe.
ReplyDeleterecipe was handed down from my great granny Kerr, whose name I kept on the recipe in earlier posts, but I really do think that clootie dumpling is fit for a King (or Queen). We love it served any way at all and it used to be a fight to see who got the outside slice when I was growing up - my dad always won. :)
