Another first. I have never heard of or eaten suet pastry. Recipe anyone?

Can you get suet? Its sold in packets here and there is a vegan/vegetarian version which I tend to use.

I will look it up. It is probably available on Amazon. Is the recipe on the box?
Vegan suet? Isn't that an oxymoron?

I don't know if recipe is on box. It might be. I can supply a recipe if you can find suet! Vegan suet is made from palm and sunflower oil. I've used both kinds of suet interchangeably and can barely tell the difference. Maybe the beef one has a little more flavour. What is great about suet pastry is that it is almost effortless - no rubbing in or anything.

For basic suet pastry, two parts self raising flour to one part suet, salt to season and mix with cold water. As with all pastries don't over kneed. Egg wash to give a golden finish.

Suet pastry works best for me as a crust on a pot pie or as a steamed pudding.
