This was my Mum's when she started a recipe book for me:
1lb Brisket of Beef (boiling beef).
1 Carrot
1 Turnip
Cabbage and broccoli, peas, barley, mixed herbs.
Soak peas overnight in boiling water.
Use a large pan, boil your beef for about an hour then add chopped vegetables.
Tablespoonful of barley and about 1/4 lb peas and pinch of mixed herbs.
Boil slowly for about 2 hours, then take meat out and add suet dumplings and boil for half an hour.
Where is the thyme ? Certainly remember those yukky twig bits.
This was the recipe for suet dumplings ... hahaha .. I just guess.
1/4 lbs plain and self-raising flour mixed.
2 ozs flaked suet (Kilverts..
)
Pinch salt.
Mix with cold water with a knife as though you were making ordinary pastry. Divide into small portions and roll into balls.
