Norfolk Pudding Recipe - British & Regional Recipes

How to make Norfolk pudding:

A form of batter pudding was commonly eaten in the Eastern counties of England. A portion of the pudding was served with gravy before the main meal in order to take the edge off one's appetite so that not too much meat was eaten during the main course. Here by contrast the batter pudding was used as a dessert, being prepared with fruit and sugar.

Ingredients

Yorkshire pudding batter
4 medium cooking apples, peeled and sliced
2 level tablespoons sugar
2 level tablespoons lard
(see measure conversions for more information)

Method

- Heat the fat in a shallow baking tin.
- Put the apples into the fat.
- Sprinkle with sugar and pour the batter over the apples.
- Bake in a hot oven for 30 minutes.

In google books http://books.google.co.uk/books? Search for Mrs Beeton's suet pudding to eat with a roast. It seems that the pudding was cooked by boiling and then if you wanted it could be sliced and put under the meat to take up all the juices etc.

I've got a recipe for a Savoury Norfolk Pudding. It sounds the same as yours except that in this recipe you line the suet crust with sausagemeat. It needs to be steamed for about 3 1/2 hours.
For the suet crust:-
8 oz self-raising flour
4oz suet

1lb sausagemeat
8 rashers of streaky bacon cut into pieces
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 teaspoon finely chopped sage
about 2 tablespoons stock
salt and pepper

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Regards, Mary

Hi, I'm looking for a recipe called "Norfolk Pudding" but it is a savoury. Basicly a pudding basin lined with suet pastry filled with bacon, onions and possibly some stock. The top is sealed with more suet pastry and then cooked like a suet pudding. As you can see, I've a fair idea of what's involved but have no idea about the amount of ingredients or cooking times. Can you help? Regards Max
