Christmas Pudding without Beef Suet
Asked on 1 Nov 2023 by Ebcronin
Hello,
I'm hoping to make Delia's Christmas Pudding and note that the recipe calls for shredded suet. Does it have to be beef suet or will vegetable suet work? I can't find beef suet in Ireland.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Kind regards,
Elaine.
Hello Elaine,
You could use vegetable suet, or you can use grated butter if you prefer. In the same way as Delia prepares quick flaky pastry, it’s easier to grate it if it’s been frozen for 45 minutes first and use a little of the flour to keep the gratings separate.
Best wishes
Lindsey
