Criticize. Yeah. A nice plate of Welsh rarebit and some scones with with Devon double cream and raspberry preserve just might do the trick. The for dinner Shetland lamb followed up with Littleover wildflower honey slowly frizzled onto rich Stilton and a whismsy of Graham's 20 Year Old Tawny Port. Shall I say more??

This pudding looked so delicious that I sent all the way to the UK, at great expense, for John's pudding bowl. I expect this great steak & kidney pudding will be starting a new tradition at my home in Salisbury, Maryland. I have really enjoyed reading the memories that this traditional pudding recipe evoked. God bless! UPDATE: The Mason Cash pudding basin arrived, the ingredients were purchased, and the freezing cold weather we are currently experiencing prompted me to prepare my pudding. Armed with John's thankfully detailed recipe in front of me, I made this savory pudding. When it was unmolded, it looked so beautiful with flecks of leek throughout the crust, and the aroma permeated the whole kitchen. The taste was truly AMAZING. Do make the gravy, it really compliments the pudding.

I am an ex-pat Brit who has lived my adult life in Canada. While working we had big pot luck Christmas lunches at work. As everyone brought more than they could personally eat, it always meant a lot of food was left at the end. I often took a really big British steak and kidney pudding. Few Canucks knew what it was but gamely gave it a try and absolutely loved it. There were never any steak and kidney pudding leftovers. The funny part was when they asked what it was and what was in it. Suet! Yuck. Beef kidney! Yuck! Yet they loved it. Comfort food indeed, and great videos, John. Thank you.

A great pudding John. I started as a chef in 1965, became a college lecturer in hospitality for more than three decades. We used to make 'snake and pigmy' puddings for our public restaurants, made as individual portions, but always used ox kidey. The leeks are a great idea; we sometimes used parsley , but the procedure the same as yours. I can't see my family eating this, as one is a VEGAN!, but will definitely revive the pud for me and my wife. Cheers John.PS, one of my ex students is Tom Kerridge.

[@supergran1000]

@@IanDDalton I've been married for 47 years now, so my recipe is probably the same as your gran's. To make the suet crust it's just half suet to self raising flour, season then add water to bind. I make mine in a greased basin because I hate the idea of water getting in. Line the basin, add cubed and floured steak and kidney with chopped onion in layers. Then top up with cooled stock till it's just below the level of the meat. Put on your pastry lid and seal well. Cover with buttered, pleated foil and tie with string. Steam for 3-4 hours.

This reminds me of me mams suet onion pudding which she regularly made this time of year , we had it with mince in gravy and a pile of mash and some marrowfat peas after getting in from school. Tip I read once was , if you were just steaming in a large pan and did not want your basin sitting on the bottom , place a heatproof saucer in the bottom of pan with a jam jar or similar lid under saucer . If water was getting low , the lid would start to rattle and alert you to top the pan up with some extra water , food for thought.

Oh John, talk about timing! I'm sitting here by my computer feeling hungry - stomach rumbling, and wondering what to have, and this pops up. That looks blooming' lovely. Just the thing for a winters day. I had a favourite auntie who used to spoil me rotten and she would make meat puddings for me whenever I visited her. She lived on a fruit farm in Kent and (in her Kentish accent), would ask the butcher for "a pound of puddin' beef and a puddin' clorth" (cloth). She would make up the suet pastry flat on her kitchen table on top of the floured pudding cloth and put the meat (raw meat) and chopped onion in the centre, then fold up the suet pastry across the top so it looked like a flat cap. Bringing up the pudding cloth around and over it and tying it off with string and then steaming in a large pan. She never used a basin. The only slight downside (if there was one), was that the suet pastry was often quite thick, but when covered with her lovely gravy it was all delicious. What a shame we don't eat things like this so much nowadays. Whilst one wouldn't want it all the time, I wish I had things like this more often. I might just have to make one now- and it'll be all your fault! Thanks for posting this..... Best wishes, Mark

Thank you Chef. Always appreciate a new pastry recipe. I was wondering why you didn't cook the leeks in advance but then realized that 1 hour in the steamer would do the job. Thank you for all of the suggestions of substitutions for everyone to personalize. This would be a great change up for a individual chicken-pot-pies or veggie pies as well. My question is... Have you ever taken the finished pudding and baked it to brown the outside a little bit? Would it ruin the pastry? I can see making them a day in advance and warming them up in a toaster-oven.

Always love how clear and simple are your explanations, John. BTW, one small tip from my grandmother (who was a famous chef), is to add a small amount of Black Treacle to the juices, to enhance the caramelised flavour you usually get from browning the meat. This cook's cheat really does increase the depth of flavour. Rick P.S. can you please show us the correct way to make a Beef & Stilton pie? I always have trouble getting the Stilton cheese into the gravy.

Absolutely spot on. Hadn't had steak & kidney pud for years. Didn't fancy the processed supermarket option. So ingredients were supplied by my local butcher and my Mrs said it was absolutely delicious. So thanks for the beer 🍺 pass. Leeks give it a splash of freshness.

Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well. Here is my latest video recipe. profoodhomemade.com/cheese-onion-potato-pie/

HinJohn. Hope you're well? I love suet pastry- sweet and savoury. Made a chicken & veg pie with suet crust recently. Delicious 😋 Being winter and under orders to make loads of mincemeat I have a lot of suet around Thinking about a jam roll poly this week and might add some coconut to the pastry. If nit it'll be apple dumplings with suet crust. Real rib sticking food. Enjoyed this recipe. All the best from Dublin

I’ve lost my mom and dad all within 5 years. Now it’s just my wife and I and our families…so sad how life just zooms by! Happy holidays sir. Oh yeah, Suet!

I love steak and kidney pudding and homemade is by far the best , it's just one of those things that due to the time it takes to make , doesn't get made often . But you can't beat homemade with mash and cabbage

You have some lovely recipes and videos. I've only watched 2 so far. I just wanted to let you know that these videos are so heart-warming for me. My Grandparents were from Sunderland and Newcastle, but emigrated to Australia. They have passed away now, so I savour anything that brings memories of them. Steak and Kidney pie was a favourite of mine as a kid. Although, your recipe looks so much better. I also enjoy hearing your Geordie accent, of course.
