  • Seal any gaps well and use the sausagemeat to line the dough, pressing them well together.
  • Mix the bacon, onion, sage and sugar together and put in the basin, adding sufficient stock or water just to cover.
  • Roll the dough for the lid into a circle to fit on the top.
  • Add the dough lid, pressing the edges firmly together and sealing with a little water.
  • Cover with a circle of greaseproof paper and finally cover securely with kitchen foil.
  • cover and steam for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
  • Serve with boiled potatoes and a selection of vegetables with thick brown gravy, served seperately.
