This is my mother's recipe for the suet pastry that she uses for making fruit-filled suet puddings.
Ingredients:
450g self-raising flour
180g vegetable suet
pinch of salt
enough cold water to bind the pastry (about 250ml)
Method:
Place the flour, suet and salt in a bowl. Mix to combine then add the cold water a little at a time until the mixture comes together as a soft dough. Tip the dough a lightly-floured surface and knead until elastic then roll the pastry into a rough oblong about 6mm thick (if you are making a rolled pudding).
If using for a pudding basin cut away 1/4 of the dough for a lid then roll the remainder out and use to line the base and sides of the pudding basin. Fill with your desired savoury filling then top with the remaining pastry and steam.
