WELCOME TO OUR CLOOTIE CLAN
Hi, I’m Michelle, I am a mum to four wonderful children and a French Bulldog called Ralph! I live in the Pictish village of Abernethy on the Perthshire/Fife border and have gained several catering qualifications over the years and achieved a Degree with Distinction in Food.
We are a family run business, creating each Clootie Dumpling individually with the best and freshest of ingredients. We prepare and cook our traditional Clootie Dumplings using a recipe handed down through generations of our family. We also have a selection of traditional Clootie Dumplings incorporating a modern twist to the recipe. All scrumptious warm with ice-cream or custard.
WHAT IS A CLOOTIE DUMPLING?
The first published recipe of the Clootie Dumpling dates back to 1747. A Clootie Dumpling is a wonderful Scottish fruit pudding cooked in a unique way.
Once all the ingredients are mixed to the perfect consistency, they are wrapped in a freshly boiled ‘Cloot’ that has been sprinkled with flour. Cloot being Scots for cloth. The flour is what forms the delicious ‘skin’ around the outside of the dumpling after it has been boiled.
The clatter & bubble of a Clootie Dumpling in a pan and the warm aroma of sugar and spice will ignite your taste buds.
Enjoy!
