Mix enough suet pastry (2/3 self raising flour to 1/3 shredded suet) and enough cold water to make a pliable dough.) to roll out as thin as possible (about 1/2 inch thick)
Place in the middle of the rolled pastry a pork loin which has been lightly floured and seasoned with salt and pepper and I like to add dried herbs and a clove of garlic sliced thinly and spread about over the pork Loin.
Roll the suet pastry over the pork loin and seal the edges by slightly wetting the edges with water.
Place the pork loin roll onto lightly oiled double thick foil and very loosely wrap in the foil.
The idea is to allow the pastry to expand but to keep it from getting soaked while its being steamed.
Place in a steamer of on a wire rack in a large meat tray which has boiling water underneath cover and place in the preheated oven.
Steam for 35 to 45 min
Check to make sure the pork is cooked right through with a meat thermometer before serving.
To serve slice into roundels and place on the plate with buttered Mashed Potatoes or Pasta in Pesto, pour a chicken gravy over the meat if you do not have any pork stock to make the genuine item.
This works even better with a Beef fillet as well! but then you don't have to be so particular about it being cooked right through
Enjoy!
