How To make Clootie Dumpling

Scottish Clootie Dumpling! Full video on my channel ???????????????????????????????? #scottish #food

Clootie Dumpling is a TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH dessert

The Clootie Dumpling is a traditional Scottish dessert, rich and fruity in nature. The name Clootie comes from the Scots word cloot, which means cloth. The dumpling is wrapped in a cloth (or cloot) and boiled. The dessert has its roots in ancient Scottish celebrations of Yule when a special dessert would be prepared to mark the winter solstice. Over time, it became associated with other celebrations, especially Christmas and Hogmanay (New Year's Eve).

The dumpling is a dense, spiced pudding with suet, flour, sugar, dried fruits, and spices. Once all the ingredients are mixed, the dough is placed onto a floured cloth, wrapped up, and then boiled or steamed for several hours. After boiling, it's common to bake the dumpling briefly to dry and crisp the outer skin. When ready, the dumpling has a distinctive flavor and texture, with the spices and dried fruits imparting a warm, festive character.

Making a Clootie Dumpling is often a family tradition, with recipes and techniques passed down through generations. Each family might have its own variation, adding different fruits or spices according to preference. Serving it sliced, often with custard or cream, it remains a beloved treat in many Scottish households.

Cozy Chicken & Dumplings

A classice take on an American comfort food staple.

Here is what you'll need!

COZY CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
Serves 6


INGREDIENTS
Soup
2 tablespoons oil
2 pounds chicken breasts
1 large onion, diced
4 carrots, sliced to ¼ in half rings
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
½ teaspoons dried thyme
2 bay leaves
1 ½ frozen peas
4 tablespoons fresh minced parsley


Dumplings
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 ⅓ cups heavy cream


PREPARATION
In a 6-quart dutch oven, cook chicken over medium-high heat until brown on both sides. Once chicken pieces are browned, remove and set aside.
Add carrot and onion and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes.
Add garlic and stir for another minute.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add butter and flour, stirring constantly for 3 minutes to avoid lumps.
Add chicken and any accumulated juices back to dutch oven and stir to to coat in roux/vegetable mix. Add chicken broth, cream, thyme, and bay leaves and bring to a simmer. Once soup is at a simmer, add frozen peas and cover.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cream. Stir until mixture comes together into single mass of dough.
Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, form dough into small round balls about 1 inch in diameter (this dough mixture should yield 14-16 dumplings).
Place dough balls into simmering soup (making sure they don’t touch), and cover. Let soup simmer for 15 minutes or until dumplings are cooked (they should pass the toothpick test).
Ladle into bowl, giving 1-2 dumplings per serving.
Enjoy!
