Suet is the protective fat that surrounds the kidneys of cattle and sheep. The fat is covered with a fine membrane (skin) which is removed along with any traces of blood or kidney. |
Fresh
suet is made by mincing the cold
suet through a mincing machine
on slow speed. |
 |
Suet pastry is the combination of suet fat, flour, water and baking powder. |
The paste is used for sweet and savoury dishes such as steamed suet roll or steamed steak and kidney, steak and mushroom pudding. |
Suet pastry is also available pre-shredded in commercial units. |
