Suet Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Sour the milk by adding the lemon juice.
• In a large bowl combine suet, molasses, soured milk, baking soda, flour and raisins. Place batter in a pudding mold or large double boiler and steam, uncovered, for 2 hours.
• To make the sauce combine, in a small saucepan, the egg white, confectioner's sugar and vanilla. Heat over medium until thickened. Serve over warm pudding.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine suet, raisins, corn syrup, water, baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, flour and baking powder; mix well.
• Heat batter in a steamer over 1 inch of hot, but not boiling, water. Steam until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, 1 teaspoon salt, butter, sugar and cornstarch. Stir constantly until mixture thickens; stir in vanilla extract.
• Serve pudding and sauce warm.

Steps:

• Sift the self-raising flour and salt into a large mixing bowl Add shredded suet and half the flour's quantity and mix it into the flour using the blade of a knife. When it's evenly blended, add a few drops of cold water and start to mix with the knife. continue adding drops of water until it begins to get really sticky and dough like. Bring it all together with your hands until you have a nice smooth elastic dough, which leaves the bowl clean. Suet pastry always needs more water, so if it is still a bit dry just go on adding water a few drops at a time. On a lightly floured surface, cut away a 1/4 of it for the lid. Roll out the remaining with a floured rolling pin, until you have a fairly thick circle about 13 inches in diameter. As long as you roll backwards and forwards, not side to side, it will roll out into a round shape. Line a greased, 2 pint pudding basin with the pastry. You need to press the pastry into the bowl, pressing it well all around and reinforcing any thin areas, especially at the bottom. Add the filling of your choice then roll out the pastry lid, dampen its edges and put it in position on the pudding. Seal well (egg yolk if you wish), then cover with a double sheet of foil, pleated in the centre to allow room for expansion while cooking. Tie it with string to make a handle so that you can lift it out. in a large pan of boiling water going half way up the Basin. Steam for 5 hours over a low heat, top up water when needed.

Steps:

• Sift Self raising floor, add Suet baking powder and salt and mix or blend until smooth (no lumps of suet)
• Whilst blending/mixing add enough warm water to bring mixture into soft dough (not too wet or dry)
• Once the Roast Joint is removed for resting roughly roll dough into rough roasting tray size (not too heavy handed as the mixture will not rise) and sit into roasting juices. baste with juices and place in oven for 25mins or until golden brown. Oven Temp around 180-200C/gas 7-8
• baste at least twice through out cooking time, allow 10-15mins before first baste (allowing for the dough to rise)
• Please note the dough does not rise significantly, only about double.

Steps:

• (Cook the meat 2 hours prior to steaming the assembled pudding.).
• Filling: Dip meat in seasoned flour and fry lightly. Add onions and fry until golden. Place in casserole with stock, tomato puree and herbs and cook for 2 hours. Cool.
• Pastry: Put flour, suet and seasoning in a bowl. Add sufficient water to form a firm but soft dough.
• Pudding: Roll out the suet pastry and using assorted sizes of saucers, cut out rounds to fit the pudding bowl diameter, starting off small and getting bigger!
• In a well buttered pudding basin, start with a small round of suet pastry and then add some stewed beef, then a layer of suet pastry and then the beef -- carry on in this way until all the pastry and beef is used up - the last layer should be suet pastry. Cover with buttered greasproof paper and then aluminium foil.
• Steam for 2 hours, making sure there is always plenty of water. (Always top up the steamer with BOILING water - adding cold water will make the pudding heavy.).
• Serve with fresh seasonal greens and vegetables and mashed or steamed potatoes.

Steps:

• Gradually add sugar to beaten eggs.
• Add suet, raisins, apples, vanilla and flour (sifted with salt and soda).
• Note: This should read 1 cup white sugar or 1 cup brown sugar.
• Steam 3 hours.
• To Steam: Place pudding in well oiled 1 1/2 quart mold, fill 2/3 full. Cover with lid of mold or 2 thicknesses of waxed paper securly tied. Cook in a covered steamer, over boiling water or on a rack in a covered kettle of boiling water. The water should be half the depth of the mold. Add more boiling water as needed.
• This was served with either a lemon sauce or a vinegar sauce.
• ENJOY!

Steps:

• Sift together into a bowl the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, clove, ginger and nutmeg. Add the suet, molasses, milk and raisins and mix thoroughly.
• Pack the mixture into a buttered pudding mold or suitable bowl and steam for 3 hours. (A steamer can be made of any deep, coverable pot: simply put some mason jar screw bands in the bottom, stand the mold on them and add water until it comes halfway up the mold. Cover and steam.) Serve with hard sauce.
