Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 

Would still have to go in a basin though wouldn't they ? Are you not getting mixed up with roly-poly pudd ?

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 

if yer puddings have been pre-cooked you can stick em in t'microwave for 2 mins..sod all that half full pan malarky;)

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 

Nope, as long as the pastry is sealed you don't need a container. If you go to Bobs tripe stall he sells some meat and IIRC apple puddings 'sans tin'

I've also been to a restaurant that served homemade steak puds without teh tin but my memory lets me down for now......

ETA - rememered, its teh upstairs cafe in Blackburn market

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 

Not mixed up kate, thats how my old gran used to cook them just in muslin, like roly-poly, and believe me they were good, no, very good:D

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 

Make sure you cover um well or all the inside of the microwave gets a bit:D

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 

But how would you get the pie shape to hold Jaysay just in muslin if making yer own :confused:

Come in Entwisi.

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 

Kate, My gran used to make them like that too......steak pudding done in a 'rag'.......was more like a rolly poly.......and they were delicious.

She also used to do them in enamel basins and these also had a muslin(or rag) tied around the top......useful for lifting out the hot puds.

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 

Thanks Margaret .. just couldn't understand how you could get the traditional pie shape. Looked at my mum's book where she did recipe's for me .. did in a basin though, but just with greaseproof paper or a cloth on top. Suppose can put anything there, as long as the water doesn't get in.

She recommended 5 hours steaming time (shoulder steak plus kidney .. yummee). Mind you, suppose was one large one for family of four, 1/2 lb shoulder steak and 2 oz. kidney, what you reckon ? :D

Mmmm ... can almost smell it ... however, gotta' make my dinner now and my small pizza and salad fades into junk against this. :(

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 

easiest way is to go to the nearest pie shop and get them from there .... in my case hollands!!!!

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 

Oh, I don't know what recipes she used.......The roly poly type one was used when there wasn't much money for meat.....it obvously took less meat as a filling.....much more suet pastry, but I remember liking that one the best.

I made a large Cumberland pie for our tea.....that is just a Cottage pie with delusions of grandeur.......cheddar cheese grated on top and browned until crisp and crusty......himself had his with garden peas and beetroot.......I had mine with coleslaw.
Yeah, I know it sounds disgusting but don't knock it 'til you have tried it........the plates were scraped clean and so was the large dish it was cooked in.

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 

Oh, steak puddings in a rag, me mum used to make one that covered the whole plate, the wife used to have a go and they were good too but I haven,t seen one for years. I,ll have to sweet talk her now that you,ve got the old mouth watering.

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 

All the talk about Steak Pud int rag is making my mouth water Margaret wish now I had my old grans recipe book and Id have a do his weekend

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 

Hollands have improved their puds recently,

they git to the point where it was teh od grain of meat in gravy, I had one last week and it was decent amount of proper steak in it

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 

Suppose if you did a costing, would cost you much more to do your own, mainly due to the cooking time.
