ask eric: steak pudding without suet - where can i buy a bbq grill

Dear Eric: I read your article: "How to replace board oil in Christmas pudding.
I am a British lady who lives abroad.
My job is to make pies and pies for hotels and restaurants.
I live in Turkey and it is impossible to buy board oil here, but I want to make steak pudding this year.
Do you have a recipe for a delicious pudding with board oil?
Deborah Burleigh Dear Deborah: the article you quoted was published on October 2012.
It answers the reader's question about making Christmas pudding without the board oil used in most traditional recipes.
The column can still be found online, and Deborah saw it there.
The last time I checked, the hard copy of The Times colonists was not delivered to Turkey.
Suet is a solid white fat found around the kidneys and waist of cattle and other animals.
It is used in Christmas pudding because of its rich taste and moisture.
It also has a high melting point, so, in the many hours of steam required to cook the pudding, the board oil will slowly melt and stay in it, and will not melt and penetrate out quickly.
The steak pudding mentioned by Deborah, such as steak and kidney pudding, will also be steamed for a long time, especially for the extended family --sized ones.
Traditionally, the crispy pastry packs the filling because, like Christmas pudding, it adds flavor and moisture and melts slowly to make sure it stays in the pastry.
But there is no board oil in Turkey;
In fact, it's hard to find in Victoria.
Deborah said in her second email that she wanted to be single
Pudding is served.
They will be much smaller than a family.
Version of the size, so the pastry will cook and set up faster.
This makes me try to use other types of fat in the pastry.
I made it with a mixture of butter and lard and I guess Deborah will find it in Turkey.
My recipes are flexible.

1/2 teaspoon of dried mustard powder 1 teaspoon of salt 1/4 cups of extremely cold butter, cut into small squares 1/4 cups of extremely cold pure lard, cut into small squares 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of cold water 1 large egg, spray flour, baking powder, mustard and salt in a Vertical mixer bowl with paddle accessories with beaten vegetable oil.

Mixed, only small spots of both appear.
Add water to mix until loose dough is formed.
Transfer the dough to the working surface of a little flour.
Make the dough into a ball and use a light flour hand.
Press the dough into 2. 5-cm-thick disc.
Pack, rest and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes or until it is ready to make the pudding.
When ready to make pudding, grease on the inside of four one
Glass or ceramic baking cups sprayed with vegetable oil. (
My cup is 9 cm wide and 6 cm high. )
Spread the dough on a large, light flour working surface.
Roll the dough into 56-with a light flour rolling staff-
The square of centimeters is about the third of centimeters thick.
Cut the dough into four, 20.
Centimeter wheel.
If the dough shrinks after cutting, a bit will be rolled out each round until 20-cm round again.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Add a round of dough to each baking cup, try not to stretch, and make sure that some dough is covered on the edge of the Cup (see photo).
Each cup is filled with spoons.
Brush the top of the dough with beaten eggs on the edge of the Cup.
Cut the remaining dough into four, 10cm rounds.
Put one on each pudding and press it in place.

Cover the whole baking pan tightly with aluminum foil. Oven-
Steam the pudding for 75 minutes, or slightly puffed, and cook the pastry.
You can open the mold, plate and serve the hot pudding at the same time.
Or you can cool the pudding to room temperature and put it in a toast.
At this point, you can pack and refrigerate the pudding until you are ready to re-heat, thaw, and serve within the next day or two.
The pudding can be re-heated in the microwave for a few minutes, using a short 30 second heat so they don't burst.
You can also heat the cups by placing them on a baking tray, heating them in a 350 F oven for about 30 minutes, or heating them up until hot.
After steaming and cooling, the puddings can also be frozen for two months.
As mentioned above, unfreeze overnight in the refrigerator before heating.
Note: 3 cups plus 2 teaspoons from
Improving flour can replace all
Four and baking powder required in this recipe.
Note: the remaining dough decoration can be collected as a ball, crushed into a disc, packaged and frozen for other purposes such as toppings.
