INSTRUCTIONS
Preparing the cloth: Half fill a very large pot with water and bring to the boil. Add a large piece of white cloth or linen to the water and boil for 2-3 minutes. Lift out with some tongs and allow the excess water to drip off. Lay the cloth out on a table and dust a layer of flour over it. This forms the skin. Making the dumpling: Dissolve the syrup in the buttermilk and add the eggs to the other ingredients. Mix to a soft dropping consistency. Place the mixture in the centre of the prepared cloth, draw up the edges and tie with some string. Leave a little space for the dumpling to expand. Steaming Place a plate in the bottom of the pan and then add the dumpling. The water should come two thirds of the way up the dumpling. Bring to simmering point and cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 hours, checking the water level occasionally. Alternatively use a 3 pint pudding bowl, cover with some greaseproof paper and secure. To turn out: Fill up with cold water a basin large enough to hold the dumpling and have ready a bowl that the dumpling will just fit into and a large round heated plate. First dip the dumpling into cold water for about 10 seconds. This prevents the skin sticking to the cloth. Now put into the bowl and untie the string. Open out the cloth and hang over the sides of the bowl. Put the serving plate over the bowl, invert it, and carefully remove the cloth. Drying out and serving: Dry out the dumpling in the oven. Sprinkle with caster sugar. Slice and serve with a dollop of Caledonian cream. Caledonian cream: Beat back the mascarpone and lightly whip the double cream. Fold the mascarpone through the cream, along with the other ingredients, and serve with the dumpling. Converted by MC_Buster. Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
