This is the classic, basic recipe for the pastry used in traditional roly-poly pudding, boiled and steamed puddings (including savoury puddings), and dumplings. For savoury adaptations of the basic recipe, add herbs such as oregano, savory, and thyme.
Sieve the flour and salt into a large bowl, add the suet and mix lightly, mix with sufficient water to make soft, but firm, dough.
Turn out on to a lightly floured work surface knead gently until smooth, and let rest 30 minutes before rolling out.
This recipe makes one pound of pastry.
It isn?t complicated to make good pastry, but a little extra care in your groundwork will turn out mouth-watering results. Even if you have not much time, and want to use shop bought frozen, fresh or a mix, don?t forget the value of an eye-catching finish to your dish, and just spare a minute to make a special glaze or decorative trimming.
