III. Step-by-Step Instructions

A. Preparing the CBD-Infused Clootie Mixture

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, breadcrumbs, mixed dried fruits, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, beaten eggs, and whole milk.
  3. Optional: If desired, add 1-2 full spectrum CBD oil drops to the liquid mixture. Stir well to ensure the CBD oil is evenly dispersed.
  4. Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick, sticky batter forms.

B. Steaming the CBD-Infused Clootie

  1. Prepare the pudding cloth by greasing it with butter or oil to prevent sticking. Place it in a bowl and pour boiling water over it to sterilize and dampen it.
  2. Carefully remove the cloth from the bowl, squeezing out any excess water. Spread the cloth on a clean surface and sprinkle it with flour.
  3. Spoon the CBD-infused Clootie mixture onto the center of the cloth. Gather the edges of the cloth and tie it securely with kitchen string, leaving enough space for the pudding to expand.
  4. Fill a large pot with water, making sure it’s deep enough to fully submerge the Clootie pudding. Place a heatproof plate or trivet at the bottom of the pot to prevent the pudding from touching the direct heat.
  5. Carefully place the wrapped Clootie pudding in the pot, ensuring it is fully

submerged in water. The water should come about halfway up the sides of the pudding.

  • Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the pudding steam for about 2 to 2 ½ hours. Check the water level periodically and add more boiling water if needed to maintain the desired level.
  • After the steaming time is complete, carefully remove the pot from the heat and allow the pudding to cool slightly. Remove the pudding from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes.

C. Serving and Enjoying

  1. Untie the string and gently remove the cloth from the CBD-infused Clootie. The pudding should have a rich, dark color and a moist texture.
  2. Transfer the Clootie pudding to a serving dish and slice it into thick wedges or squares.
  3. Serve the CBD-infused Clootie warm with your choice of accompaniments. Traditional options include pouring warm custard or a drizzle of caramel sauce over each slice. You can also enjoy it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream
  4. As you savor each bite, take a moment to appreciate the combination of flavors and textures in this classic Scottish dessert, enhanced by the potential relaxation and wellness benefits of CBD.

IV. Tips and Variations

  1. CBD Dosage: If you choose to infuse your Clootie pudding with CBD, add 1-2 full spectrum CBD oil drops to the liquid mixture. Adjust the dosage according to your preference and follow the dosage instructions provided with your CBD oil.
  2. Spice Variations: Feel free to adjust the spices to suit your taste preferences. You can increase or decrease the amounts of cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg according to your desired flavor profile.
  3. Additional Ingredients: While the classic Clootie recipe calls for mixed dried fruits, you can customize it by adding other ingredients such as chopped nuts, grated apple, or citrus zest. These additions can add extra texture and flavor to the pudding.
  4. Steaming Alternatives: If you don’t have a pudding cloth or muslin cloth, you can use a heatproof bowl greased with butter or oil as an alternative. Simply fill the greased bowl with the CBD-infused Clootie mixture, cover it with foil, and place it in a larger pot with boiling water. Steam as directed.
  5. Serving Suggestions: While Clootie pudding is delicious on its own, you can serve it with various accompaniments to enhance the flavors. Consider pairing it with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a scoop of your favorite ice cream flavor.

V. Storage and Reheating

Leftover CBD-infused Clootie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, you can either steam the pudding again by following the steaming instructions or slice it and warm individual servings in the microwave.

If desired, you can freeze the CBD-infused Clootie for longer storage. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer bag or container. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as needed.

VI. Conclusion

CBD-infused Clootie is a delightful twist on a traditional Scottish dessert, combining the rich flavors of dried fruits, spices, and breadcrumbs with the potential relaxation and wellness benefits of CBD.
