An old fashioned Lancashire dish full of flavour and very satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 pound (16 oz) diced steak and kidney
- 1 medium white onion
- 1 packet suet ( Atora is best )
- 1 pound (16 oz) self raising flour
- salt and pepper to season
- 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water
- 1 clean rag
- 1 safety pin, or string for fastening
Steps
Put the flour and suet into a bowl.
Rub together until the mixture has reached the consistency of crumbs.Advertisement
Mix with cold water to form a soft dough.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface.
Form a large circle large enough to hold the steak and kidney.
Place steak, kidney, diced onions and seasoning into the middle of the dough circle.
Fold dough over ingredients, place into the rag, and tie up like a parcel.
Secure this bundle with a safety pin or string.
Alternatively, you can make individual sized puddings using smaller rags.
Place in a pan of cold water
Bring water to boil and simmer on a low heat for about 2 hours.

Community Q&A
- QuestionWhat kind of rag should I use?
Community AnswerI use a new cotton kitchen towel. Square is best. Bring the four corners together and tie them with cooking twine. Don't wrap the towel too tight - you want the pastry to expand like a dumpling. - QuestionHow many people does this serve?Community AnswerThis type of rag pudding serves 2-4.
- QuestionDo I need water to cook meat pudding in cloth in a slow cooker?
Community AnswerYes, otherwise it'll just burn in the bottom when the liquid has completely evaporated.
Tips
- A hot damp cloth is best used to wrap the pudding. Make sure excess water is removed from the cloth by wringing. Flour can be sprinkled on the damp cloth before the pudding is wrapped.Thanks
Things You'll Need

Reader Success Stories
"My mom is 80. She has told me several times over the years about a meal she recalled her mom making when she was a little girl. She remembered that it was a boiled meal, and that her mom used clean/worn out shirts of her dads to boil the steak pudding within. I searched but could never find a recipe, until now. I am making it for her birthday this year. She will be so surprised and pleased! Thank you."..." more
