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.*** Ingredients:
