We had bacon pudding this evening,with jersey royals.If you have not tried it please do so.
recipe;diced one white onion,about the size of a small finger nail,one packet of lean bacon,smoked or unsmoked.sweat in a pan until soft.Placed aside.
6oz self raising flour
3oz suet
salt and pepper
The trick is not to handle the mix to much.I use a fork,adding slowly very cold water,not to much,just enough to form a soft ball.lightly flour the service,and roll out mix,saving a small piece for the lid,line a greased pudding basin,add onions and bacon top with the pastry lid.cover with tin foil,making a fold place in a pan or boiling water,for about one and half hours.
If you are a veggie use veg suet,then dice red onion cook in the same way,adding grated strong cheddar and a little smoked cheese and chopped chives.
For a sweet slice cooking apples adding a pear,sugar and a little powered coriander,mix together with a small piece of butter again cook for about one to one and a half hours.
All of the above are good after a cold /windy day on the river.
