    My parents immigrated from Glasgow to Montreal in the 50's and when I was born my paternal gran and uncle came over as well. My gran used to make clootie dumpling for birthdays and hide coins wrapped in waxed paper inside as prizes! Luckily no one ever broke a tooth on a coin, haha. I loved it best served with pouring custard or fried for breakfast.

    My Gran used to make this a lot & it was always part of Christmas Day lunch. We always called them plum puddings or plum duff. Not sure where my Gran got the plum duff name from.
    I’ve got all her plum pud & boiled/steamed pud recipes & how to notes that I treasure. Mum used to make them a lot too.
    Loved them hot with custard, made from eggs & milk from my Gran’s farm or leftovers (if we were lucky) eaten cold like a fruit cake
    It’s ages since I made one! Now I am inspired.

    Hi Cheryl, So fun to see this recipe! I just sent it to my dad who has probably never watched any kind of UA-cam cooking video before... I thought he'd mentioned the name a couple of years ago at Christmas, and at the time I had never heard of it and didn't know how to spell it. I just got a message back from him saying that this is what he remembers his grandmother making and he's 82, so that would be quite a long time ago. Also, I just found out last week that my grandmother (his mother) came over from Scotland when she was 8. She was born in Kilmarnock. Small world.

He said "yes took a bite out of slice and said "this is my mam's dumpling" the guy said I can't see how but my wife was out on Sunday.His wife had been down where we lived and yes it was my Nanna's recipe.
