Rendering Beef Suet

4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 kg Beef kidney suet
• 1 cup Milk

Instructions

1. Soak 1 kg of beef kidney suet in water, cut into cubes, and place in a pot with a small cup of milk.
2. Slowly render the suet until it becomes clear.
3. Do not fry an onion with it; remove the fat from the heat before it begins to brown and pour it off from the cracklings.
4. Rendered kidney suet prepared this way is an excellent frying and cooking fat and can replace butter in many cases.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
