How many teaspoons (or tablespoons!) are in flour and suet?

I had this great idea to do dumplings but my scales are buried (don't have a kitchen right now) and I can't find them. For dumplings I need 100g of flour and 50g of suet, how many spoons does that work out at? Does anyone know? Or can anyone help me out and do some measuring please?

1 tablespoon is 15g

Basically it's half fat to flour - so use whatever utensil you like to measure it (small glass etc) and use those ratios.

All that matters is you use twice as much flour as suet. Then you just dribble in water and mix until you get the right consistency. No scales needed.

100g is roughly 7 tablespoons.

2:1 so anything you like as long as looks enough.

Oh hang on - that won't work because they are not the same mass. Ignore me. I'll get me coat....

1 tablespoon of flour is 7.8 grams , so 100/7.8 = 12.8 tablespoons.

I don't know how much suet weighs, so can you estimate the amount you need from the packet size?

So I could do, for example, 2 tablespoons of suet to 4 tbsp of flour? 3 tbsp - 6tbsp etc?
