This sweet and rich pudding is a staple of traditional Hogmanay and Burns Night gatherings. Great for birthday celebrations, too! The name comes from the "cloot" or cloth used in preparing this treat. Made with sultanas, raisins, citrus peel, treacle, marmalade and spices, this is a festive and flavorful favorite. Fans of "The Great British Bake Off" may have taken an interest in clootie dumplings when they saw the contestant bakers attempt to perfect the tricky pastry. There are few things better than a slice of hot clootie with a spoonful of melting brandy butter. Goes nicely with vanilla ice cream, too!
