Atora suet

powershopper

If you can't find any, grate some solid cooking fat--cookeen or something like that--works better if you freeze it first.

Penny-Pincher!!

Nettos had it on special about a month ago...2 for £1, so I stocked up on 6 packets. I use for dumplings and apple dumplings.

It is

More properly known as Sussex Pond Pudding a traditional English pudding believed to originate from the South East county of Sussex. Made of a suet pastry which encases a whole lemon, with butter and sugar, it is boiled or steamed for several hours.

It is incredbly delish (not low fat though) and I make it in the slow cooker because I haven't go tot grips with steaming properly. the only thing to remember is to use an unwaxed lemon

I've had a problem getting beef suet recently too, none in Tesco Metro or in our local somerfield.

Luckily, I had just enough left for dumplings on Sunday so I have a bit of time to find some before I need it again.

I bought some Saturday from my local corner shop.

Our Tesco still didn't have any yesterday but I got a packet of dumpling mix and used that instead.

My massive local Tesco's didn't have any in yesterday which I thought was a bit odd.

OMG!!! Is there a national shortage!!

This must be an ongoing problem - I have tried Tesco's, Sainsbury's, Co-op and Somerfield and I can't get beef suet anywhere - even the vegetable suet is getting difficult - what's going on?
