Step-by-Step Instructions
01
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable suet, fresh white breadcrumbs, and roughly chopped parsley.
02
Add two of the eggs and mix thoroughly. If the mixture feels too crumbly and doesn't hold its shape when squeezed, add the third egg. The consistency should be moist enough to clump together easily.
03
Lightly grease a baking tray with vegetable oil. Roll the mixture into approximately 14 golf-ball-sized portions and arrange them in a single layer on the tray.
04
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4). Bake the balls for 15–20 minutes until they are beautifully golden brown and crisp on the outside. Serve warm.
Chef's Tips
For a vegan version, replace the eggs with a flax-egg substitute. These can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours or frozen for up to 3 months before baking. Serve with cranberry sauce for a classic festive pairing.
