===Method===
'''Pastry'''
* Sift the Flour and the Salt into a large mixing bowl
* Season with Black pepper
* Add the Suet, a few drops of water and combine with the Flour, using a palette knife
* Continue stirring, adding a few drops of water at a time until it starts to become a little clay-like
* Stop adding water now and mix with your hands
* Keep mixing until you have a smooth elastic Dough. You can always make small adjustments by adding a little more Flour or water as needed
* Divide the Dough into ¼ for the lid and ¾ t line the bowl
* Roll out a circle, quite thick, about a foot in diameter and press into your pie-bowl
* Roll the remainder out as a lid so that it sits over the edges of the lined bowl
'''Filling'''
* Trim the Meat and Kidneys of excess Fat etc. so you have the correct weight. Feed your cats or dogs with the remainder!
* Season the Flour with Salt, Pepper and Mustard
* Dredge the Meat and Kidney in the seasoned Flour
* Add all of the filling ingredients to a separate bowl. Crumble in the Oxo cube. Mix well with your hands.
* Fill the suet-lined bowl with the filling ingredients.
* Shake any remaining Flour over the top and ''just'' cover the Meat with cold water
'''Wrapping and cooking'''
* Cover with a double layer of tin-foil, leaving a pleat for expansion
* Tie with kitchen string.
* Quarter fill the pressure cooker with boiling water.
* Place the bowl in the shallow trivet.
* Cook on high pressure for 2 hours.
* Allow the pressure to come down naturally.
