This is an old recipe, one my grandmother used to make when we were children and I love it.  This one is baked rather than steamed, it is quicker, and I like the texture the baking gives to the outside. 

• 170g/6 oz self-raising flour
• 85g/3 oz shredded suet (I prefer to use vegetable suet, but you can use beef)
• Salt and pepper
• A little water
• Milk or egg for glazing
• 200g/7 oz bacon rashers, chopped
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons dried parsley

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

Fry the bacon and onions gently until just cooked.

In a large bowl mix together the flour, suet, parsley and salt and pepper.  Add a little bit of cold water at a time and combine to form a soft dough.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface.  You want it to be a rectangle about 12 x 9 inches.

Spread the bacon and onion mixture over the surface of the dough leaving a gap around the edges.

Dampen the edges and then roll it up. Seal the ends and pop onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.  Brush with egg milk.

Bake in the oven for half an hour, until golden.
