| method: |
Cloutie Dumpling :
Mix all dry ingredients and
blend with the milk and syrup.
Boil a cotton tea towel in a
large pot, remove, flour it
well and place the dumpling
mixture in the centre and tie
with string - leave some space
inside for expansion. Place
the dumpling in pot of simmering
water and poach for 2 and a
half hours.
Iced Parfait:
Whisk the egg yolks, sugar and
vanilla together in a bowl until
sugar has dissolved. Bring the
cream to a gentle simmer in
a thick bottomed pan. Pour cream
over the egg and sugar mixture,
whisking gently as you pour.
Return the mixture to a clean
pan and cook slowly, stirring
until the custard coats the
back of the spoon.
Remove from the heat. Blend
the white chocolate until dissolved.
Blend in the Macallan single
malt and chill mixture for 30
minutes.
Line a terrine dish or loaf
tin with cling film. Chop the
Clootie Dumpling into rough,
large pieces and fold into the
parfait mixture. Pour the mixture
into a terrine dish, cover with
cling film and freeze overnight.
