Ingredients

    625 g flour

    375 g shredded beef suet (I used Maple Leaf)

Tips

Shredded beef suet can be found in the freezer section of many grocery stores


Directions

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the shredded suet and thoroughly mix together.
Add water gradually into the mixture while stirring with a fork or your hands until a soft, shaggy dough forms (almost like biscuit dough).
Divide in 3, wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour.
