BEEFSTEAK AND KIDNEY PUDDING. 107 put it into a pan of boiling water, and boil for half an hour. When it is ready to serve, turn it out of the cloth into a vegetable dish. SUET CRUST. 1 lb. flour. I i lb. suet. I teaspoonful salt. I About 11- gill water. This crust is generally used for boiled puddings. Remove all skin and fibre from the suet, and chop it very finely (sometimes a little flour sprinkled over the suet will aid in speedy chopping). Mix this thoroughly with the flour and salt in a basin, and add enough water to form a stiff paste ; work them together with the hand, and turn the paste out of the basin neatly in one lump on to a floured board ; roll out once with a floured rolling-pin to the thickness required. This crust may be made with half a pound of flour and half a pound of fine bread crumbs, instead of using all flour, and it is then considered by some people to be much lighter and more digestible.
