Got a problem with my dumplings

aurora_borealis_2

I have a beef stew simmering away. I had planned to make herby dumplings too.

Problem: my beef suet has a sell by of Aug 2007 - I don't know how that happened!


Would you?

Oh yes. Anything that doesn't need to be kept in the fridge can't be that dangerous.

Just been to have a look at mine, it has a sell by date of September 2005 (we don't have dumplings very often), but I used it about 3 weeks ago and we're fine.

Use oil instead, to rub into the self raising flour!

You can use margarine or lard as well. I keep my suet in the fridge though and don't worry too much if it is a bit over its sell by date.
