SUET CAKE RECIPE FOR YOUR BIRDS If you love feeding birds in any season, this is their favorite! Obtain some suet (ground beef fat) from your local meat market. Simmer on low/med heat to obtain the liquid. In a large/flat 1-2 inch deep pan add a few large spoons of peanut butter. Discard the meat and pour the hot liquid over the peanut butter and stir to mix. To this add a 3:1 ratio of corn meal and flour and stir. Incorporate sunflower seeds, wheat seeds or whatever you have and stir. Place in the freezer or frig. to cool for about an hour or two. After it is cooled, cut into approx. 4 inch squares and store in zip lock bags in the frig. to place in your suet feeders when needed. The birds love it and they will let their friends know where it is, especially the Goldfinches, Chickadees, Cardinals and Titmice!
