Yield: 4 Servings

Measure	Ingredient
8 ounces	Self-raising flour
	Pinch of salt
3 ounces	Suet
1	Small onion,sliced
1 pounds	Mushrooms, wiped,
	Trimmed and sliced
4	Rashers streaky bacon,
	Chopped
	Salt and black pepper
	A little water or stock

Mix the flour, salt and suet together then add sufficient cold water to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out. Use ⅔ of the dough to line a greased 2 pint pudding basin, reserving the remaining ⅓ for the lid. Seal any gaps well.

Mix the onion, mushrooms and bacon together, season, and put into the centre of the pudding, adding a little stock or water. Add the dough lid, pressing the edges firmly together and sealing with a little water. Tie a circle of greaseproof paper over the basin and cover securely with kitchen foil. Place on a stand in a saucepan, and pour round sufficient boiling water to come about half way up the basin. Cover and boil for 2 to 2½ hour's, topping up with boiling water as necessary. Serve with potatoes and a green vegetable.
