Cloutie Dumpling
The Cloutie Dumpling gets its name from the "clout" or cloth in which it was traditionally boiled. Ingredients:
4 oz shredded margarine
8 oz (2½ cups) flour
4 oz oatmeal
3 oz sugar
Rounded teaspoon baking powder
8 oz mixed currants/sultanas/chopped raisins
One or 1½ teaspoon each of ground cinnamon and mixed spice
One teaspoon golden syrup
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 tablespoons buttermilk

Method:
Using a large mixing bowl sift the flour and rub in the margarine. Add all the other dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. Make a well in the centre and add the syrup and eggs and mix well. Add enough buttermilk to make a soft but firm batter.

The traditional way of cooking dumpling is in a cloth. Cover with boiling water and cook for 2½ to 3 hours
