A clootie dumpling is a traditional Scottish pudding made with flour, Bread crumbs, dried fruit (Zante currant, , sultanas), suet, sugar and with some milk to bind it. Ingredients are mixed well into a dough, then wrapped up in a pudding cloth (the clootie), placed in a large pan of boiling water and simmered for a few hours before being lifted out and dried near the fire or in an oven. Recipes vary from region to region.
"Clootie dumpling" has also been used as a nickname for the logo of the Scottish National Party.
