My Granny used to serve this sliced and fried with a full Scottish breakfast - fried eggs, Scotch sausage and tattie scones - it was amazing!

Clootie is just the Gaelic word for cloth, that's all! It is essentially a fruit cake boiled in cloth.

[@robokill387]

No, "clootie" is not gaelic, lol. It's Scots dialect.

[@rosemarywalls1995]

Served cold with lashings of butter yummy, or hot with custard, my kind of dish , thank you ❤

[@sassafras_smith]

I love when you share traditional recipes, it's a bit of food anthropology.

[@lesteraizlewood8457]

This recipe made my mouth water. My gran and my mother used to regularly have one of these delicious puddings on the table but I haven't had one for years. This will be on my table very soon. Thank you.

YAYYYY! CLOOTIE DUMPLING! Thank you, Cheryl! In Northern Ireland we do this for Hallowe'en...I think I asked you in 2020!! Love a bit of Clootie Dumpling!! ❤❤❤❤❤ Can you tell I'm excited??!! 🤣🤣🤣

Oooh cheryl, this looks delicious. The fruit all plumped up and juicy, yum! I'm 73 and I've never cooked this but l shall now 'cause you're never too old to learn.

[@hazeljanehopkins5652]

This put me in mind of my granny too - always a suet pudding or a clootie boiling away.

[@rebeccadees2300]

Never heard of this.. I love traditional recipes. Thank you for sharing your video and recipe.

[@lindafletcher1628]

My Grans recipe used grated potato and carrots with currents and raisins, It was delicious. Cant buy suet anymore here where I live so havent made it in years. We always had it for Christmas with hot butterscotch sauce

[@charlespratt8663]

I always make my steamed puddings in an old earthen ware bowl my Grannie brought to Canada from Arbroath in 1928. I will have to try it in a clootie. I love your accent!

Thank you for sharing! 😃 That looks delicious! 😋

Awe my dad used to make this for us kids using a pillow slip then boiling it in my mums gas boiler that she used to wash our clothes in sometimes he'd put a sixpence in it for a surprise that must be over 60 years ago 😢😢😢

Looks wonderful! I’ll need to try this! Thank you for sharing!

My gran used to make these as she had a big family, enjoyed watching.

[@mariemiller8740]

When I lived in Scotland I used to work with elderly and one old lady said to me I'll give you a recipe for your Nanna, my aunt was a housekeeper for the queen and this was her favourite recipe, I took it for my Nanna really happy,I had got this great recipe that the queen loved.She took looked at it looked at me and said "mine is better" she never used it.Mind you she used to make clootie dumplings for the churches bake and sell days .My uncle was a plumber and he was working up in Glasgow about 8 miles away from where we lived, and a work mate said "would you like a bit of dumpling?" He said "yes took a bite out of slice and said "this is my mam's dumpling" the guy said I can't see how but my wife was out on Sunday.His wife had been down where we lived and yes it was my Nanna's recipe.

[@SharonTaylor-Freund]

My parents immigrated from Glasgow to Montreal in the 50's and when I was born my paternal gran and uncle came over as well. My gran used to make clootie dumpling for birthdays and hide coins wrapped in waxed paper inside as prizes! Luckily no one ever broke a tooth on a coin, haha. I loved it best served with pouring custard or fried for breakfast.

[@jays2877]

Used to have this instead of birthday cake. Wonderful sliced, fried and eaten sprinkled with sugar for breakfast.

[@didee5336]

My Gran used to make this a lot & it was always part of Christmas Day lunch. We always called them plum puddings or plum duff. Not sure where my Gran got the plum duff name from. I’ve got all her plum pud & boiled/steamed pud recipes & how to notes that I treasure. Mum used to make them a lot too. Loved them hot with custard, made from eggs & milk from my Gran’s farm or leftovers (if we were lucky) eaten cold like a fruit cake It’s ages since I made one! Now I am inspired.

[@bethk1402]

Hi Cheryl, So fun to see this recipe! I just sent it to my dad who has probably never watched any kind of KZbin cooking video before... I thought he'd mentioned the name a couple of years ago at Christmas, and at the time I had never heard of it and didn't know how to spell it. I just got a message back from him saying that this is what he remembers his grandmother making and he's 82, so that would be quite a long time ago. Also, I just found out last week that my grandmother (his mother) came over from Scotland when she was 8. She was born in Kilmarnock. Small world.

Aww Clootie Dumpling. I remember years ago my Dad used to make a big dumpling at New Year and dry it off in front of the open fire (that could've just been his way rather than tradition) lol. My dad died a long time ago now and this just brought back that lovely new year memory. Thanks for that Cheryl. This looks delicious and it's time I made one now 😊
