Substitutions for Suet in a baking recipe?

Specifically, can stork substitute for suet? Am asking about a dumpling recipe at the moment, but would like to know if stork can substitute for suet in any baking recipe.

Thanks in advance for all genuine, informative answers. Cheers

Update:

Only asking because I have stork in the fridge, but no Suet (not for vegetarian reasons).

Not in the states, unfortunately I don't have access to Crisco - would have a whole pantry full of the stuff it they sold it here in the UK!!!

    If Stork's all you have in stock, then by all means use it. The flavour profile and texture (there's fair amount of water in margarine) will be a little different but it will work OK, certainly.

    To get closer to the flavour of suet, lard and dripping will perform quite well in its place. They're both not as hard a fat as suet, which will loosen the tetxture a little bit, but they're both closer in character to suet than either butter or one of the many margarines.

    Hope this helps.

    this is a 2:a million ratio of cream of tartar to baking soda, so purely use a million.5 tsp of baking powder. regardless of the reality that, i might recommend getting separate factors next time so as which you are going to maintain on with the recipe.

    Trex is a lot like crisco, so that may work. I've never tried it though.

    Good luck!
