Next, stir in the flour to create a roux. Slowly pour in the chicken stock, milk, and cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add in the shredded chicken and diced ham, stirring to combine. Let the filling simmer for a few minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix together the self-raising flour and suet. Slowly add in water a little at a time until a soft dough forms.
