p'butter oat cakes for the birds

stir together the following:

2 cups softened lard
2 cups soft peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
4 cups oats
4 cups cornmeal

Okay this is the original. I have long since started replacing some of the flour and meal with bird seeds of all sorts...sunflower seeds, niger seed, canola, cracked wheat, song bird mix that the birds refuse to eat UNLESS mixed with this concoction. Press into 9x13 pan and chill for a couple hours. Cut into 6 squares or whatever size fits your suet feeder best. You can also form into balls to fit mesh onion bags and hang outside. Our birds LOVE LOVE LOVE this. Woodpeckers, chickadees and if you're not careful, the magpies do too!
