Cooking fat (4)

I think it could be either:

suet

lard

'cooking fat' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for suet that I've seen before include "Edible animal fat" , "Fat used in foods" , "Solid fat used in cooking" , "Hard edible fat" , "Hard white cooking fat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Mirror, the Penny Press, the Evening Standard, the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, The Independent, The Star Tribune and the USA Today.
