Suet and the Dairy Free Diet

Suet is a hard, white fat found around the loins and kidneys of cattle, sheep, and other livestock. Known for its high melting point, suet is prized in culinary uses for its ability to create flaky, tender pastries and rich, savory dishes. It is a key ingredient in traditional British recipes such as Christmas pudding, mincemeat, and dumplings. The preparation of suet typically involves removing any skin and impurities, then chopping or shredding it for use in recipes.
