Oh this is Stanley's forte, suet pastry and all that...I wouldn't have a clue.

You can't go wrong as long as you include Guinness, mushrooms, Worcester Sauce, mushroom ketchup and onions in the mix. Only sure way to get proper suet for the crust these days is to ask your butcher to mince some up for you. The veggie option is foul. Delia is quite sound on S&K pie. By the way, best pot is one of those old brown glazed sloping side pots with the big rim to seal the crust on. I think charity shops are the best place to find them.

Brown the steak in oil, then remove and fry the onions - add flour to thicken - put in dish, add a dash of worcester sauce, season and top up with a can of Mackesons stout - cook in a medium oven for a couple of hours until tender. I make my pastry half suet and half lard - not as heavy as full suet.

I'll bet the steeplejacks make theirs with Guinness!

Steak and kidney pie without kidneys is perfect for me. I don't mind the kidney gravy, I'm just not too keen on the offal. It is a matter of taste and texture, not squeamishness.
Measure with a micrometer.

You can still buy those sloping bowlsStanley, on Bury market. Up until about two years ago you could get them at Rochdale market but rumour has it that Rochdale ( all of it) is closing down not just the market!!!!!!!

Sorry to be pedantic but are we talking "steak & kidney pie" or what I knew as "steak pudding" in the 1950s? The pudding was a white thing that I think soldiers call "babies' heads".

Sailors called steak puddings Babies Head. Big difference between a Pudding and a Pie, but I think the contents are exactly the same !!!

Sorry - yes missed the kidneys because I do not like them. The filling for the pudding is the same - just line a pudding bowl with suet pastry, put the filling in, put a lid of suet pastry on top. Put greaseproof paper with a pleat in the middle to allow the suet crust to rise (my grandma used a piece of white cotton) over the top and tie it down round the edge of the bowl. Put in a steamer over a pan of boiling water for 2/3 hours depending on size. Don't forget to keep filling the pan up with boiling water.

Can we please delete this topic. I have not been near any sort of a pie in months so to read all these delicious looking recipes is making my mouth water.
Please don't anyone post a picture or else I'll be chewing the screen!!! Nolic
