Great Bacon and Onion Roly Poly

To 12 ounces of flour , add half its weight (6 ounces, of suet, and rub the fat into the flour until it takes the appearance of breadcrumbs. Add a seasoning of pepper and herbs (parsley, thyme and/or sage, if liked) I dont always use herbs to the mixture but if you do mix in a little cold water to form a stiff dough. Do not over-knead the pastry or it will be hardened- handle it as little as can be managed. Roll the dough out on floury board into a long oval, and sprinkle with 6 ounces of bacon pieces and a whole onion chopped (raw). Roll up the pastry to form a roly-poly. Suet pastry can be baked or steamed. Bake in slow (medium to low) oven for two hours. i steam ours in muslin as I find it goes hard and crusty in oven.
