Suet Pastry

Here is grandma’s suet pastry mix, it is easy to make, and is great for steaming and boiling.  It can be used for many things, you can use it to make steak an kidney puddings, fruit puddings (just replace the meat with fresh fruit) dumplings for stews, apple dumpling and many more recipes.

Grandma use to use this pastry all the time because you only had to have the basic ingredients and it was so quick to make.

Ingredients

2 cups of flour

1 cup of suet (if fresh you will have to shred it)

a little water

Take all the ingredients and mix together to form a dough.   See it is that simple.

Roll it out and line a greased pudding basin with the dough and place inside anything you wish.  Just place basin in a Saucepan of water (remembering not to let the water cover the top of the pudding, use foil to cover the top of the pudding)  and boil for about 1-2 hours.

Once done you will have a great suet pastry pudding.  We have put a couple of suet pudding recipes on this website for you to try, and we will be adding more.
