Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 133, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 June 1913 — Substitute for Butter. [ARTICLE]
Substitute for Butter.
Th* cook who finds the fowl too fat for delicate digestions is in luck, if she will but clear herself of the unreasonable prejudice which often exists against Its use. Surely, if the flesh and eggs are fit to eat, so also is the fat of well-fed chickens, it being a product of grain and grass, mor* wholesome than the tot of pigs. I remove all superfluous fat and try it out over the fire;' then to three parts if chicken fat I add one part of beef suet, which makes atoonsistency about like that of butter. This grease may be used to «ake* exactly as though it were butter, and'th* results ar* •finally gratifying.
