How to Make Microwave Clootie Dumpling

  1. Combine 1 cup self-raising flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/4 cup of butter in a large bowl. Mix well until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  2. Stir in 1 cup of milk gradually until a soft dough forms.
  3. Add 1/2 cup mixed dried fruit (raisins, currants, sultanas).
  4. Grease a microwave-safe bowl (approximately 1.5-2 litre capacity).
  5. Place the dough in the greased bowl, forming a round shape.
  6. Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through and springy to the touch. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your microwave.
  7. Leave to stand in the bowl for 2-3 minutes to allow it to firm up before serving. Serve with custard or ice cream (optional).
