|---|
| 45 minutes |
Ingredients¶
- 1 stick vegetable shortening
Cookware¶
- 1 box grater
- 1 cold bowl or onto a cold plate
Instructions¶
Note
Substitute for suet.
Step 1¶
If you can't find suet then we have found that grated vegetable shortening (such as Trex, Crisco or Copha) is a good substitute. To grate the shortening firstly freeze a stick or block of it until firm but not solid (this usually takes about 30 minutes).
Step 2¶
Grate the shortening on the coarse side of a box grater into a cold bowl or onto a cold plate, returning the fat to the freezer if it becomes too soft.
Step 3¶
Before using the grated shortening chill it for another 10 to 15 minutes in the freezer.
