Suet Pudding my mum's recipe
1/2 pkt suet
3/4 lb plain flour ) or same qty self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder )
salt and pepper
Chop suet finely, add salt and pepper. Roll flour into suet mixture
with a little cold water to make a stiff dough. Roll into a ball.
Flour a cloth (tea towel or plain muslin) and place pudding inside
Tie cloth loosely over pudding. Place in a pot with an upside-down
saucer in the bottom and cover with boiling water. Boil for 11/2 to
2 hours keeping the water boiling the whole time. Slice and serve.
Ours only got a crusty top when mum made a big slab of it and re heated it in the oven while the meat was roasting, the rest of the week it was just sliced and served on your dinner plate with lots of gravy. Memories but don't think i would want to eat much of it now. But it was very filling and food was scarce at times :(
