Clootie Dumpling Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
6 oz plain flour
3 oz shredded suet (usually available at, your butcher)
3 oz currants (dark raisins)
1 oz sultanas (white raisins)
2 oz to 3 oz castor sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk or sour milk
Recipe
Preparation
Mix flour with suet, fruit, sugar, cinnamon and soda. Stir in enough
milk to make a soft batter. Dip a pudding cloth (cheesecloth) into
boiling water, sink it in a basin large enough to hold the batter.
Dredge it lightly with flour and spoon in the batter. Draw the
fullness of the cloth together evenly, then tie it tightly with
string, but leave enough room for the dumpling to swell. Place a
saucer or plate in the bottom of a large saucepan. Lift the dumpling
into the pan. Pour in enough boiling water to cover. Simmer for a
full 2 hours, then untie. Turn out carefully onto a hot serving dish.
Dredge with castor sugar. Serve with hot custard sauce. Yields 4 to 6
servings.
For the hot custard sauce, we usually use Byrd's Custard. If you have
the availability of British goods in your area, they should have
Byrd's custard. It comes in a large tin, like a container of powdered
chocolate for chocolate milk. Just follow the directions to make a
custard, only dilute it a little more to make it sauce-like.

All you have to do is toast the reduced carbohydrate bread in a gas or electric oven on a cookie sheet. Once it is quite hard and crispy, process it in your food mill. Store in an airtight container.
