Homemade Scottish Fruit Pudding Recipe

No reviews yet

Scottish Fruit Pudding is a combination of oatmeal and beef suet, with dried fruit like raisins and currants, brown sugar, and spices like cinnamon. It's generally formed into a sausage shape and sliced for frying in butter. The result is both savoury and sweet!

Scottish Fruit Pudding is generally part of a classic Scottish Breakfast, and yet it seems to be disappearing from plates across the country as we don't see it as often when eating out, and generally only as a part of certain breakfast packs in some supermarkets.

We decided it was time to make our own homemade Scottish Fruit Pudding recipe, so you're not reliant on getting it from elsewhere.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Spread the oats out on a large baking tray and toast in the oven for 12 minutes.

  2. Add the toasted oats and all remaining ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir well.

  3. Add 1/3 cup to ½ cup water as needed – just enough to help the mixture come together so that when you take a handful and squeeze it holds its shape.

  4. Take about 1/3 of the mixture and use your hands to roughly shape into a sausage approx. 7” long and 3” wide. 

  5. Wrap the sausage in cling film so it is completely covered.

  6. Roll the sausage on a flat surface with two hands to help give it a nice even, rounded shape.

  7. Repeat twice more with the remaining mixture. There should be enough to make 3 sausages.
