Steps

1

Mix together the flour and suet, gradually add water but by bit until you get a dough like consistency. If to sticky add more flour. You want a nice ball of dough that you are able to roll out. Place some tin foil on the side and then a layer of greaseproof paper on top roll out mixture to about the thickness of a pound coin. Then brush with melted butter.
2

Season with pepper and place a layer of onions all over. Then crumble over stock cube. then a layer of bacon.
3

Now carefully from the bottom working up roll it up like a roly poly, using the paper to help keep it tight. Fold over the ends of the paper and then repeat with the tin foil so you have a tight sausage shape.
4

Place 2 large foil balls into the slow cooker on low and add some boiling water into the bottom. Place the pudding on top of the balls so it’s not sitting in the water. Place lid onto slow cooker and cook for 6-8 hours.
