Suet Crust, Rich

Ingredients

Directions

Remove skin from the suet, then shred and chop it finely.
In a bowl, mix the flour, breadcrumbs, suet, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add water to form a paste that is soft enough to roll out but not sticky.
Roll out the paste carefully to avoid breaking.
