When my brothers and myself had a birthday it became a tradition that my my mother would make a clottie dumpling,and they we're excellent.Unfortunately when she passed on we were too late to ask how she made one.I remember being sent to Ross's dairy for buttermilk and to the Butchers for suet( none of this vegetarian rubbish).Can anybody furnish the rest of the ingredients and what to do with them.She also made passabble stovies,but she took that recipe with her as well.We should have listened more,although her timer in modern times would be called a fire alarm.

This might be close to what you're looking for, Gordanna.

My grannie made a great clootie dumpling in fact she made one every week. It tasted like heaven steamin oot the cloot and through the week we had it cold. Nectar of the Gods.
