Time 3h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups self-rising flour
1 ¾ cups dried currants
1 ⅔ cups raisins
¼ pound shredded suet
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 cup white sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon molasses

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil.

CLOOTIE DUMPLING RECIPE



Clootie Dumpling Recipe image

A Clootie Dumpling is a Scottish dessert traditionally made of dried fruit, spices, oatmeal or breadcrumbs, flour, and beef suet. It's boiled in a cloth, called a "cloot", hence the name. Cooking a Clootie Dumpling means filling your home with an amazing spicy aroma, surpassed only by the delicious taste once it's ready to eat!

Categories     Sweet Recipes

Time 3h45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

200g Plain Flour - additional flour will be required for flouring the cloth and surface of the pudding
125g Oatmeal
150g Suet / Unsalted Butter
125g Dark Brown Sugar
1 Tsp Ground Ginger
1 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 Tsp Mixed Spice
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
3 Tbls Black Treacle
2 Eggs (Medium)
150g Milk - To be used as required
125g Currants
125g Sultanas / Rasins

Steps:

  • Take a large mixing bowl and add the flour, oatmeal, suet or butter, sugar, spices, currants, sultanas/raisins, baking powder, bicarb and treacle.
  • Next, add the treacle and the eggs and mix together slowly. It will start to form a large sticky ball, and you may want to get your hands in now to help it come together!
  • You can add a little milk if the mixture seems dry. We usually add between 75-150ml so only do a small amount at a time.
  • Take your Clootie Dumpling cloth or "Cloot" and put it in the colander in the sink. Pour boiling hot water over the cloot, covering it thoroughly.
  • Wait for it to cool enough to handle and squeeze out any excess water and place the cloth on a clean surface.
  • Once your cloot is laid out sprinkle the entire surface of your cloot with a thin and even layer of flour. You can shake off any excess carefully into the sink. Your aim, once the cloot is tightly tied, is to have the floured cloot touch the whole surface of the dumpling, transferring the flour from the cloth to the pudding.
  • Take your ball-shaped dumpling and gently place it in the centre of the cloot.
  • Cut a long piece of string, roughly half a metre in length.
  • Draw up the corners and edges of the cloth together to the top of the dumpling.
  • Take your string and tie your cloth's edges and corners together tightly roughly in the centre of the length of string, leaving a little space between the top of the dumpling and your knot to allow the pudding to expand.
  • Place a small plate upside down in the base of your pot, this should be able to withstand heat.
  • Lift your newly tied clootie dumpling and carefully place it into your pot.
  • Tie the dumpling to any panhandles on either side using the excess string.
  • Tip boiling water around your dumpling until the dumpling is submerged up to the knot. Your dumpling may float a little, this is perfectly fine.
  • Place the lid of your pan on at a slight angle allowing for steam to escape and set the heat to keep the water gently simmering.
  • Leave to simmer for 3 hours. The water level should cover your dumpling at all times so do add more boiling water to make sure it's completely covered if required.
  • Once your dumpling is cooked take your colander and place it in your sink. Carefully take your dumpling out of the pot and place it in the colander allowing any excess water to drain off. Make sure you don't move the cloth from the surface of the dumpling at this stage as you may rip the skin.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C or 356°F, approx gas mark 4.
  • Once drained pick the dumpling up by the knot (carefully as it'll be hot) and place on a large chopping board or clean heat proof surface.
  • Using a sharp knife or scissors and cut the string at the top of the cloot.
  • Very carefully peel back the cloot from the dumpling. it is crucial at this stage that you don't remove the skin formed by the flour. We used the back of a spoon to help keep the skin attached.
  • Once the cloot is removed, place your dumpling on your baking tray knot side down and pop it into your oven for 5 -10mins or until the skin has darkened. Don't be tempted to leave it in too long as this can dry out the dumpling.
  • Serve with custard or cream!

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dessert

Time 3h55m

Number Of Ingredients 18

sunflower oil or butter for greasing
175g fresh white breadcrumbs
175g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
175g beef suet or vegetarian alternative
100g dark soft brown sugar
½ tsp salt
1 tsp mixed spice
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
100g currants
175g sultanas
2 tbsp black treacle or golden syrup
150ml milk
1 large egg
2 long lengths of baking parchment
a large tea towel, baking cloth (we used one from Waitrose) or square of muslin
string

Steps:

  • Wet your tea towel or cloth and baking parchment under the tap then squeeze out the excess moisture. Spread out the towel on the work surface then place two pieces of parchment (the length and width of the tea towel) in a cross on top and lightly oil or butter them. Put a very large pan of water on to boil with an upturned plate in the base.
  • Tip the breadcrumbs, flour, suet, sugar, salt, bicarbonate of soda, spices and dried fruit in a large bowl and stir to mix. Whisk the treacle or syrup into the milk and egg using a fork until well blended then stir the mixture into the dried ingredients with the blade of a cutlery knife to make a soft dough.
  • Dust the paper generously with sifted flour then place the dough in the centre of the cross and shape into a round with your hands. Bring the paper up round the pudding and tie at the top with string. Trim off the excess paper with scissors then wrap in the cloth and tie in the same way. Lower into the pan of simmering water, cover with a lid and boil for 3 hours until firm. Check the water level every now and then and top it up if necessary.
  • Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C /gas 4. Tip the pudding into a colander to drain and then carefully peel off the cloth and paper. Place the pudding on an ovenproof dish and bake for 15 mins to dry it off and produce the classic skin. Serve sliced with custard, cream or ice cream and a dram of whisky if you like.

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 ounce/125 grams suet
8 ounces/250 grams flour (plain or all-purpose, plus 1 tablespoon for the cloth)

For Serving: custard or ice cream

Steps:

  • Once cooked, carefully remove the dumpling from the water. Remove the cloth then sprinkle the dumpling with a little caster sugar . Preheat the oven to 225 F/100 C.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until a shiny skin forms. If you wish to be more traditional, then dry the sugar-covered dumpling in front of an open fire.

GREAT GRANDMOTHER FRASER'S CLOOTIE DUMPLING

Categories     Other Breads

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb plain flour (all purpose)
1 lb porridge oats
2 tsp bicarbonate soda (baking soda)
2 tsp cream of tatar
2 tsp mixed spice (heaped) - see recipe in comments)
2 tsp cinnamon (heaped)
3 oz suet (or 1.5 oz lard & 1.5 oz butter (both frozen and grated)
1 pinch salt
4 oz currants
8 oz raisins
8 oz sultanas (yellow raisins)
2 Tbsp golden syrup (light molasses)
2 Tbsp dark treacle (dark molasses)
cold tea (black) to mix

Steps:

  • 1. Place all the ingredients, except the tea, together in a large mixing bowl and mix together so that everything is evenly mixed together.
  • 2. Now add enough tea to the mix until you have a stiff mixture. The mixture is pretty sticky so you will not need too much tea to achieve the desired effect. Try to not make the mixture too dry, but also avoid making it too wet.
  • 3. To prepare a pudding cloth. Use a large square of muslin or cut up an old sheet - anything cotton (not towelling) and that will not lose fibres. Soak the cloth in boiling water. Then wring it out. The cloth should be damp but not dripping. Lay the scalded cloth on the work surface and give it a good dusting with flour, this will protect the dumpling and give it its skin at the end.
  • 4. Pile the dumpling mixture into the centre of cloth and then bring the cloth together at the top and tie together tightly with string so that you now have something that resembles an old money bag. Ensure that there is enough room to allow the dumpling to swell when cooking. There must not be any gaps or holes where the cloth has been tied together or water will get in and you'll be left with a soggy mess!
  • 5. Place a oven-proof plate in the bottom of a large saucepan / stock pot you are going to cook the dumpling in, as this will give it something to sit on without burning the bottom. The pan should be large enough to allow the dumpling to swell without touching the sides.
  • 6. Boil a kettle and pour in enough water to cover the plate, then put the pan on a high heat and the add the dumpling and remaining boiled water until the water level comes ¾ of the way up the side of the dumpling. Do not pour water directly onto the dumpling, add it to the side. Add more boiling water if necessary to bring the water to the correct level Do not submerge the dumpling.
  • 7. Cover the pan keeping the water at a rolling boil cook the dumpling for 3-3.5 hours, checking the level every 20 minutes or so and adding boiling water from the kettle if necessary. Do not let the dumpling boil dry. Do not let the water go off the boil (or you'll have a soggy mess).
  • 8. Depending on how much space you left when tying the dumpling, some of the mixture may squeeze out as the dumpling starts to cook and swell. Fear not - provided it doesn't become too wet the dumpling will be ok. Once cooked, take the dumpling out and leave it to cool for about 10 minutes on plate, then cut the string and gently peel off the cloth.
  • 9. There should be a translucent skin left on the surface of the dumpling, which should now resemble a large fruity boulder. If you leave the dumpling to cool for too long, when you take remove the cloth you will probably lose most of the skin. This is not a serious issue, but the skin is nice! Serve warm or cold with brandy butter, rum sauce, custard, ice-cream - whatever takes your fancy. This reheats well in the microwave and freezes really.

MICROWAVE CLOOTIE DUMPLING



Microwave Clootie Dumpling image

I used to make the traditional version of this but it takes so long to make and this is made in a flash. My Grandmother always made it the old way in a cloth steamed for hours then dried out in front of the fire to form a skin we got one every year for our birthday rather than a cake and we loved it, it was actually the highlight of the day. This one is a bit of a cheat but it's very good.
