SUET PIE

Suet Pie image

I was rummaging through my grandmama's cookbook pantry when I stumbled upon one of my great-great grandma's cookbooks. I looked through for markings in the book and happened to stumble upon this recipe. I don't think I'd try this unless I was looking for "old timey" recipes. For those who don't know what Suet it, check it out on Wikipedia - it's a beef fat. --Submitted by Mrs. S.B. Ellis. From The Sunflower Cookbook, compiled by the Ladies of the Methodist Episcopal Church - Cottonwood Falls, Kansas, published in 1901-- * The recipe called for "one spoon" of this or that so where it called for "one spoon" I have it listed as a tablespoon.*
