Resident recipe – bacon pudding

Les Payne, 88, a resident at Maycroft Manor Care Home in Brighton, remembers eating bacon pudding very fondly. Here he shares his memorable recipe with us.

Serves: 4                                                 Prep: 15 minutes                          Cooking time: 40–60 minutes

Ingredients

–          8–10 bacon rashers                                                            

–          4oz shredded beef suet

–          8oz self-raising flour

Method

1.      Mix together the flour and suet, adding water slowly to form a dough.

3.      Roll out the dough to approximately 0.5cm thick.

4.      Lay the bacon onto the dough.

5.      Add optional ingredients if required.

6.      Roll up the dough onto itself – like a roly-poly.
