Suet Crust

SUET CRUST FOR MEAT PUDDINGS.

Eight ounces flour, five ounces beef suet, a little salt. Remove all the skin from the suet, chop fine and mix with the flour, adding a little salt, mix well; add by degrees a little cold water and make into a paste; flour the paste-board and place the paste upon it, roll out to the thickness of 1/4 inch. It is then ready for use.

I will try this. Do you have a recipe for a filling for it? Do you have one for old-fashioned suet pudding. My grandmother made it for Thanksgiving many many years ago.
