Steak and Kidney Suet Pudding

Hi, like steak and kidney pies, well here is a homemade steak and kidney Suet Pudding, this is another of Grandma’s English recipes.  It is made using the Suet Pastry mix, that is great for steaming, or boiling.   We hope that you enjoy it.

Ingredients

1 lb of steak (chopped and diced into pieces)

half a pound of kidney (Lambs Kidneys are best (chop and diced into pieces))

1 onion (slice and dice)

2 cups of flour (plain)

1 cup of suet

gravey mix

salt and pepper for seasoning (you can put mixed herd if you wish)

a little water

Here we go, one steak and kidney pudding coming up.

Make the suet pastry first, put the flour and suet into a mixing bowl, add a little water and mix together until it forms a dough.

Take the dough and roll it out on a flat surface until a quarter of an inch thick, get a pudding basin and grease with a little butter or lard  now line the basin with the dough, making sure to leave enough dough for a top, if you have made enough dough, don’t worry, because you can alway make a little more dough,  just remember when making the dough, that always half  the amount of suet to the flour. (so if using 1 cup of flour, use half a cup of suet).

Now that you have lined the pudding basin with the dough, mix together the steak,  kidney and onion (and mixed herds if you wish) salt and pepper and put into the pudding basin you have just lined with the dough, take a little of the gravey mix add to a little water and pour over the steak and kidney.  Take that rest of the dough and place over the top and pinch the sides together so that the pudding is sealed.

Place foil around the top of the pudding bowl (or use a cloth) and tie so that the water does not get into the pudding.  Place the bowl into a saucepan of water (making sure not to cover the pudding) just enough to go halfway up the side of the pudding basin, place the saucepan lid on the saucepan and boil for 2-3 hours.  Keep an eye on the water so that the saucepan does not boil dry.

Once cooked take out of the saucepan (being careful not to burn yourself) take the foil or cloth off the top now place a plate over the top and turn upside down and the pudding should slide out.

Cut and serve with fresh vegetables.

Enjoy
