Make them quite light and make sure they're cooked and I love them. Don't worry you can have yours without
They’re all made with fat of some kind, what kills them is people either get the mix ratios wrong or apply too much pressure when forming.
Made with suet. Suet is the raw, hard fat of beef or mutton found around the loins and kidneys. What's not to like?
I regularly make chicken stock and save the smoltz skimmed off the top and use that but you can use oil too if you have no suet. Don’t forget the baking powder.
Got meetings all morning so it's bacon butties in half an hour and mince pies and stollen cake for luncheon. Off for a bit of decent food tonight with a pocket full of scrap money. Quite fancy a 14oz rib eye. Couple of ales.
My man being from the reich used to eat stollen cake all year round.. slice of it with butter and jam.
