Bird Cakes
Time: 15 mins
Ingredients
- 2 lbs hard vegetable fat or 2 lbs lard or 2 lbs suet
- 3 cups bird seed (I buy the winter mix)
- 2 cups peanut butter
- 1 cup cornmeal (millet, quinoa or semolina can be substituted)
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup currants (or other dried fruits)
- 1 cup cracked corn (optional)
Directions
- 1 In a large pan start melting the fat.
- 2 When almost melted, take off the heat, add the rest of the listed ingredients and mix well.
- 3 Let the mix cool enough for the seeds to be evenly distributed and not sink to the bottom.
- 4 Fill your molds, cool until set and un-mold.
- 5 IMPORTANT: Do not use old and used fat from your deep fryer because that is not good for the birds.
