About
The Clootie Dumpling is a traditional Scottish dessert, reminiscent of a spiced pudding packed with dried fruits and wrapped in a cloth, known as a 'cloot'. This hearty and classic pudding includes suet, flour, breadcrumbs, a blend of spices like cinnamon, ginger, and allspice, as well as sweet elements like sultanas, currants, and sometimes treacle. The mixture is bundled into the cloot, then simmered in water for an extended period until it forms a dense, cake-like texture. Once cooled slightly, it's traditionally dried out before a fire to form a crust on the outside. Served on festive occasions such as Christmas or Hogmanay, this treat is enjoyed with a cup of tea or a dram of whisky, often accompanied by a dollop of cream or a scoop of ice cream.
