Donna.... lard.....Re: Halloween here at Sharon's house

[Guest guest]

I prefer to buy lard that is cold from the butcher shop when they have it. But the lard we get comes in plastic tubs or waxed cardboard cartons and is on the regular shelf and not refrigerated.I use lard in my pie crust, bread dough and any baking I do. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Kate...

Nope Lard isn't bacon grease.. though it does come from a rendered

pig.. You can usually find Lard in the grocery store.. in the

cooler section somewhere.. Lard has to be kept refrigerated or it

turns rancid..

Lard is the secret that most baker's won't tell you about.. but Lard

was something used, in the good old days.. it's what made the bread

golden brown (well that and the pinch of sugar added) and the pie

crusts extra flaky.. and quite a few other things..

My mother used Lard in her pizza dough.. an people came from West

Virgina to her place in the mountains of PA to get her pizzas and

take them home with them.. they'd buy five or six and take them home

and freeze them.. The Lard along with a pinch or two of sugar would

turn her pizza crusts a nice golden brown..
