Recipe Notes

Suet pastry can be used to make both sweet and savoury dishes. Omit the seasoning if you are making a sweet pudding.

Suet pastry takes very little time to make but if you are making a true suet pudding, you will need to allow 2.5 hours cooking time as, once covered, this pudding is steamed over boiling water.

This is the same recipe that is used to make dumplings. Try adding some dried sage to the mix.
