With pleasure, Eric, it's very easy.
For an average casserole dish you need about 8 heaped tablespoons of self raising flour and 5 of shredded suet (I never weigh or measure, these days, I just go by experience). Add a good pinch of salt and mix it all together then add cold water, a dribble at a time and continually mixing and blending, until you have a nice ball of not-too-sticky dough. Roll it out on a floured board then place it on your dishful of hotpot, with a slit in the middle to let the steam out. Brush it with milk and bake it at gas mark 6 for about half an hour until it's a lovely golden colour. Eat and enjoy!
Bon appetite.
