Instructions (explained the best I can)
• Put Large pot of water on to boil (leaving 2 inches from the top of the pot to the water boiling)
• In the large mixing bowl or stand mixer combine all ingredients dry then add the wet.
• scrunch the baking parchment and dampen in water. No need to soak only dampen
• Also dampen the Cloot (Cloot/ Tea towel or pillow case)
• flatten the baking paper on counter, place into a cross shape and lightly spread a thin layer of oil onto the damp paper
• dust the paper with the flour as evenly as possible on top of the oil
• place dumpling mix into the middle of the crossed floured paper
• grab each corner of the paper and pull up and round the mixture, tie with string once paper has been gathered up round the dumpling mixture. Cut off any spare paper that’s not needed once tied.
• place the tied dumpling in the tied parcel into the middle of the damp Cloot and do the same again tying the Cloot with string, leaving a space for the Cloot to expand when cooking.
• Put the Clootie Dumpling in the water, ensuring it’s been tied very tight.
• Once the dumpling is in the water reduce the water to a simmer from a boil and keep it on simmer for 4 hours. Keep the lid on the pot as it simmers.
• After 4 hours take dumpling out of water, unwrap from all Cloot and paper.
• Place in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes at 200 or 180 Degrees Celsius if you use a fan oven or 350 Degrees Fahrenheit if you are not from the UK.
• Once out the oven leave to cool over night.
Once cooled the best way to eat the dumpling is to slice it and butter it or fry a slice of dumpling in butter and eat for breakfast.

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.

HOW TO MAKE A CLOOTIE DUMPLING
How to make a traditional Scottish Clootie Dumpling.
Clootie Dumpling
Clootie Dumpling, or Clootie Pudding sounds like a made-up thing, but no, it's real. Clootie Dumpling is a traditional Scottish pudding, considered a pre-cursor to the English Christmas Pudding. It contains dreid fruit, apple, flour, suet and egg plus a few other things. It needs to be boiled in a cloth for about 4 hours, and that's where the name comes from: 'cloot' is 'cloth'. After boiling, it's then placed in the oven to dry out and form a glistening crust for a while. Clootie Dumpling is quite easy to make, although it does involve a lot of waiting-around time.
