Product Information

The following substitutes can help you save your next meal that includes suet if you don’t have suet at hand. 1. Vegetable shortening

Unscrew the lid of the bottle, make a hole in it and thread through a length of twine, or a hook twisted from wire, and hang up. Make a plate feeder That’s it – that’s your dumpling mix. I will point out, for clarity, that this mix is DRY. You don’t add the water until you’re ready to use the dry mix. Butter has a much lower smoke point than suet. So, it will burn if using it for deep frying, and might not add that light and airy consistency to your plum pudding or Christmas cakes.Use an empty plastic drinks bottle to make a loose seed feeder. Make a couple of small holes in the bottom, to allow any water to drain. Use the drill, a heated metal skewer, or twist away with a pointy-ended implement. Once the fat balls are solid, put in the garden, on a bird feeder or in a fat-ball feeder. Other ways to feed birds Empty yoghurt pots

And if you find it, it’s a great vegetarian alternative to suet. It can be used in exactly the same way as suet, but it is made from vegetable oils and flour. This is another great substitute for suet, however only in certain recipes such as pie crusts. Or for some frying. It also doesn’t have much flavor, so it will not affect the flavor of your meal. You can find it in any supermarket. It is a great ingredient to use when frying. 7. Sunflower oil You can use it in the same way as beef fat, and it can also be substituted for any recipe. It does not have a lot of flavors but has a high smoke point so it is especially good for deep frying and making dough. 4. Vegetable suet Children may like to start a bird book, keeping a record of the species they see – and don’t forget the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch every January, when you note the birds that visit your garden (or park or other open space) and send your results to the RSPB.Use an ice cream scoop, or mould with your hands, into balls. If you want them to hang from a tree thread some string through them.

Reuse empty yoghurt pots to make hanging feeders. Make a small hole in the bottom of each pot and thread some string or twine through the hole in the bottom and out through the top of the pot, leaving it long enough to tie the feeder to a branch. Suet pastry is made in a simple ratio of 2 parts flour to 1 part suet (by weight), with a pinch of salt. And that’s it! That’s then mixed with some cold water until it binds and you’ve got instant dumplings. This isn’t a “cheat”, this is how they’ve always been made, so you’re not skimping on quality or anything. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pudding basin, cover with parchment paper and foil and steam for 8 hours. Yes, butter is one of the best substitutes for suet in Christmas pudding, as butter is usually used in cakes and baked goods, making it an easy swap. The best way to use butter as a substitute is to use the same ratio and freeze it before grating it into your mix. Can I replace vegetable suet with butter?

Beef fat also has a high smoke point and when used in pastry crusts it yields a light, flaky pastry, perfect for any pie filling, sweet or savory. Coconut oil can technically be substituted for suet because it also has a high smoke point and can substitute any fat. Self-raising flour. Or plain flour with bicarbonate of soda. Plain flour in the UK is known as all purpose flour in the US. Any one of these choices will work equally.
