Clootie Dumpling Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
6 oz plain flour
3 oz shredded suet (usually available at, your butcher)
3 oz currants (dark raisins)
1 oz sultanas (white raisins)
2 oz to 3 oz castor sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk or sour milk
Recipe Preparation
Mix flour with suet, fruit, sugar, cinnamon and soda. Stir in enough
milk to make a soft batter. Dip a pudding cloth (cheesecloth) into
boiling water, sink it in a basin large enough to hold the batter.
Dredge it lightly with flour and spoon in the batter. Draw the
fullness of the cloth together evenly, then tie it tightly with
string, but leave enough room for the dumpling to swell. Place a
saucer or plate in the bottom of a large saucepan. Lift the dumpling
into the pan. Pour in enough boiling water to cover. Simmer for a
full 2 hours, then untie. Turn out carefully onto a hot serving dish.
Dredge with castor sugar. Serve with hot custard sauce. Yields 4 to 6
servings.
For the hot custard sauce, we usually use Byrd's Custard. If you have
the availability of British goods in your area, they should have
Byrd's custard. It comes in a large tin, like a container of powdered
chocolate for chocolate milk. Just follow the directions to make a
custard, only dilute it a little more to make it sauce-like.

Food Tips of the Week
Diet hints and tipsIn deciding on a diet, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some low carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Understand the food labels Don't believe sales blurb that claims to be 'low carb' - check the real nutritional information on the rear of the tin or package. A good number of are only slightly lowered and in some instances still greater than a competitors standard brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' does not always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are identical.
* Replace sugar with a low carb substitute such as splenda. Many recipes that require sugar can be adapted to use splenda instead. It is much lighter so you will need to do a bit of trial and error and it may not work in every case, but it does bake up nice once you have it cracked.
