Ingredients

Instructions

Into a bowl sift the flour and the salt, then crumble in the suet. Add water and knead until you get a firm dough. Wrap into kitchen foil and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

In a skillet sauté the onions in butter until lucent. Add the minced meats, herbs and flour. Season with celery salt, salt and pepper. Cook stirring for 5 minutes then remove the skillet from the heat. In a small separate bowl mix together the beaten egg yolks and the double cream then stir the egg mixture into the meat. Cook stirring for a further 5 minutes.

Grease a pudding basin with butter. On a lightly floured surface roll out the pastry to 0.5cm thick. Cut out a circle to fit into the bottom of the basin. Then put the circle in place. Spoon a layer of meat mixture, approximately 4 cm on the pastry layer, then layer another sheet of pastry on top. Again, put the meat in between next layers. Continue and finish with a layer of pastry.

Cover the basin. Place the pudding basin into a pot of boiling water so that the water comes up to about 3/4 of the basin. Place the lid of the pot on and allow to steam for 4 hours.

Turn out the pudding and serve with vegetables.
