Time 35m

Yield Serves 4-6 (makes about 14)

Number Of Ingredients 5

240g vegetable suet
240g fresh white breadcrumbs
large bunch of parsley, roughly chopped
2-3 medium eggs
vegetable oil, for the tray

Steps:

  • Mix the suet, breadcrumbs, parsley and two eggs together in a large bowl. If too dry, add the third egg - when squeezed, the mixture should clump together. Roll into golf-ball-sized balls (you should get about 14) and arrange in a single layer on a lightly oiled baking tray. Will keep covered and chilled for up to 24 hrs or frozen for three months.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for 15-20 mins until golden brown, then serve warm alongside Christmas dinner or as a starter with cranberry sauce.
