Bonita's suet cake recipe:
It's the Christmas season; time for giving. Let's not forget our backyard birds. Here is a recipe for suet cakes that I take out every year to make a treat for those birds in my backyard:
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup lard
2 cups quick-cooking oats
2 cups cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1-1/2 cups black oil sunflower seed or mixed bird seed (whatever you have)
Melt peanut butter & lard together. Stir in remaining ingredients, including the bird seed. Pour into square or rectangular pan (mixture should be about
1”- 1-1/2” thick). Cool completely & cut into squares. These freeze well.
The birds are crazy over this, and it has attracted the Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers and the Northern Flickers.
