I had a similar experience with my granny years ago when I tried to find out whta the recipe was for clootie dumpling. I gave up. I still don't know.

For the non-Scots, 'clootie' comes from the muslin cloth (cloot) that the dumpling is wrapped in before being put in a pot of water to cook. Often silver coins wrapped in greaseproof paper would be added to the mix before cooking. The dumpling would then sit in front of the open fire to dry off.
