Ingredients
  

  • 500 g Hard beef fat

Instructions
 

  • Remove any gristle or sinew from the fat.
  • Place the pieces of fat in a frying pan and begin frying slowly. The fat will begin to melt away into the pan. This process is called rendering. Don't forget to use a splatter guard when frying to avoid the fat being spat over you and your stove top.
  • Pour this hot fat into the container you will be using to store it in. This can be a bowl or a jar but not a plastic container or it will melt as you pour the hot fat into it. A glass jar such as Pyrex is best. Continue slowly frying and pouring off the fat. If you have a gas stove, don't let the fat drip onto the flame, you'll get a flare up!
  • When the fat has cooked out as much as possible you will be left with some pieces of crisp fat. Chop these into small pieces and also put into the mixture. This will be adding flavor and crunchiness to your dripping. This is optional, you can leave it out if you prefer a smooth mixture.
  • Leave your dripping to cool and then cover with plastic wrap. Once cooled, this can go in refrigerator.
