Decadent clootie dumpling with suet, currants, raisins, mixed spice, and a touch of molasses, embraced in tradition and Scottish charm.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups self-rising flour
- 1.75 cups dried currants
- 1.6666667461395 cups raisins
- 0.25 pound shredded suet
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon molasses
Instructions:
- Boil a large pot of water.
- Combine flour, currants, raisins, suet, bread crumbs, and sugar in a large bowl. Mix in egg and milk with mixed spice, baking powder, salt, and molasses until a wet dough forms.
- 1. Soak a sturdy cotton cloth in boiling water, then dust it lightly with flour. 2. Place the dough in the middle of the cloth, bring two opposite corners together to create a ball shape, ensuring there is space for the dumpling to rise, and securely tie with twine to seal.
- Cook the dumpling in gently boiling water for 3 1/2 hours, topping up water as needed. Once cooked, remove from water, unwrap, and dry in front of a fire or in a 150-degree oven until dry. Serve.
