which country does suet come from
I have a family recipe for Plum Pudding that goes back several generations and I have always substituted Crisco for the suet with no problems.
from the UK
England.
A rich boiled or steamed pudding made with flour, suet, raisins, currants, citron, and spices.
Yes it is really a type of pudding. It is a steamed suet pudding that has dried fruit giving it a spotted appearance and is a standard part of English meals.
it came from a remote village in Thailand
Not quite sure,but i think its either France or England
Recipes for Christmas pudding usually call for suet. "Regular" fat or oil melts pretty easily (at low temperature). Suet, the solid fat from beef or mutton, won't melt until up around 70 degrees or so. The suet, which is used as a binder for the other ingredients, won't liquify and run all over at steaming and serving time. Bon appétit!
No...especially if you are making pudding, butter or shortening melt at a low temp and you will have a heavy, greasy result
The traditional pudding made in Scotland for Christmas is called "Clootie dumpling." It is a spiced fruit pudding made with flour, breadcrumbs, dried fruit, and suet, boiled in a cloth and typically served with custard or cream.
pudding was accidentaly invented in 1859
