What are you baking today (2025)?

Grits, scrambled eggs, tallow, cheese, green onions and low sodium Spam. Grits were cooked in bone broth.
Which part of the cooking do you use the tallow for? I'm guessing it's sheep or beef fat. Never seen it for sale so guessing you DIY?

Tallow is what's rendered from beef fat. There's a market a few miles away that sells blocks of it. They're shaped weird so I melt them and pour into quart containers for use. It looks like white butter and has a flavor that I appreciate. I've never seen it for sale until moving back here but there are -many- meat processing plants so there's an abundance of all things beef.

I use it to sear the Spam. The melting point is 480°F.

Ok. Aka beef dripping - considered by some to be the best fat to cook chips/fries in tho not the healthiest it would seem. Then again I'm a butter olive oil cook 😅
 
Another bread pudding, mostly for the GG's...
