About this deal

Put the fat and seeds in a saucepan and heat gently until the fat has melted. Pour the mixture into the yoghurt pots, stand in a tray and leave to set overnight in the fridge. Carefully remove the empty pot from the fat and hang the feeder from a tree. Pine cones You can ask for beef fat at the butchers and use it the same way as suet in your recipes, making it a great substitute that will yield the same results as you would have when using suet. 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

Furthermore the removal of the skin and tissue and the even mixing due to the fine shreds, imparts an extreme lightness in the cooking, and removes the reproach which was sometimes levelled at puddings made with the old-fashioned suet, of being heavy and stodgy. It can also be used for savory dishes including dumplings or pastry for pies, making it a versatile ingredient to have in your cupboard. This piece of meat has a high smoke point, making it great for deep frying and pastry recipes. It is used in a lot of British cuisines, primarily in Christmas Pudding, traditionally.I’ve rarely got the need to make huge quantities of suet dumplings, and measuring out enough mix, each time, is a bit of a nuisance, so I’ve always made my own suet dumpling mix – ready in the cupboard to simply spoon out on demand. Keep the area around the bird feedertidy and remove any uneaten food. Make sure you keep feeding the birds as they get used to locations where they can find food, and will be regular visitors! Foods not to feed to birds Some foods should never be fed to birds, including the fat from a roasting tin, salted nuts, desiccated coconut and cooked oats. Tie a length of ribbon or twine around the top of pine cones. Roll them in melted fat, then roll in seeds. Place in the fridge to set. Hang the pine cones from a tree. Logs 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.

I’ve acquired a vintage copy of the Atora Suet Recipes Book, printed some time in the 1950s. I grew up with these Atora recipe books being omnipresent in the kitchen and one of my earliest memories of visiting gran is of her steaming a steak & kidney pudding in a saucepan on her stovetop! Mum used a pressure cooker to make our suet puddings, the pressure cooker had belonged to dad as a present from his mum. While granny had time to make steak & kidney pudding, mum used to usually just cook us stew & dumplings. Anything suet is a “win” in my book!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. You can substitute suet with an equal amount of vegetable shortening for any recipes that call for suet, as vegetable shortening will not alter the taste as it is quite neutral. 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? The name "Atora" was derived from the "toro", the Spanish word for bull, inspired by the fact that suet comes from beef cattle.

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. However, it is not advised to use coconut oil because it is not a neutral oil and the flavor can affect the dish. If you’re in a pinch, you can use coconut oil in the same ratio but make sure that it is in its solid form, not liquid. Can I use butter instead of suet for Christmas pudding? We present in this booklet a varied selection of all that is best in suet cookery. This is one branch of the culinary art that is essentially British – it suits our climate and our way of life – and perhaps that is why many succeeding generations have shown such singular adaptability in evolving the numerous delightful recipes now available to us. 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. Atora is the main UK brand for suet – but any supermarket brand of suet is just as good, so don’t think this is the only name that works.That is an interesting short piece on the man who invented Atora – and how it is made – and what benefits Atora suet gave over making your own suet from fresh.
