Bacon & Onion Pudding

Method

Using a large bowl, add the flour, salt & suet & mix well
Starting with a few tablespoons, add enough water to mix together until it forms a soft (but not sticky) ball of dough
In the medium bowl using the fork, mix together the chopped bacon & diced onion
Separate the dough into three unequal lumps; small, medium & large. Flatten the smallest one out between your h&s until it fits snugly in the bottom of the pudding basin, & place it in the bottom
From the bacon & onion bowl add just under a half on top of the dough
Using the medium piece of dough, again flatten between h&s until it fits snugly on top of the bacon & onion mix
Place the remainder of the bacon & onion mix on top of the dough
Finally, flatten the last piece of dough. You may need to use a floured surface & rolling pin, until it fits snugly on the top, then secure the lid, or place greaseproof paper & tie with string
Place into a large saucepan with water at around half to three-quarters up the side of the basin
Bring to the boil, cover with the saucepan lid & simmer for two hours. Check the water level regularly to make sure that the pan doesn't boil dry, & top it up with boiling water from the kettle to maintain the level if needed
