HEIRLOOM RECIPES

In Scotland, there are versions for oatmeal clootie dumplings, which are served with savoury stews or soups. Recipes for the fruit pudding vary from family to family, handed down through generations and alternative ingredients include orange and lemon zest, grated carrot, rum, milk stout and beaten eggs and butter. In some recipes, breadcrumbs are included, while others use treacle instead. Any leftovers can be fried in butter and served with bacon and eggs for an indulgent breakfast the following day.
