πŸ“– Order your copy of Mrs Crocombe’s cookery book here: http://bit.ly/2RPyrvQ πŸ“– Mrs Crocombe is making Roly Poly Pudding with bacon, onion and mushrooms. The servants are in for a treat! INGREDIENTS 200g plain flour 75g suet (vegetarian alternatives are available) A generous pinch of salt Cold water Bacon or ham 1 small onion Mushrooms METHOD Combine the flour, suet, salt and add a small amount of water a little at a time until you form a dough which is supple but not sticky. Set aside in a cool place. Dice finely the bacon, onion and mushrooms and mix them together. Roll pastry out with lots of flour. Spread with filling leaving about 1cm at the edges. Seal the pastry at the ends well, and at the long join, with a bit of water Wrap the pudding in a clean cloth which has been well floured. Put it in a pan with boiling water and leave it for upwards of 1.5 hours. It is fairly forgiving, and can be left for an extra half an hour or hour without much of an issue. Leave the pudding to cool, then carefully unwrap it. You can then slice it and eat as is, or fry in lard for extra flavour.
