Coralie, the recipe sounds great and I bet they are delicious! My grandmother cooked and baked with lard and it indeed gives everything a distinct delicious flavor. Have a good day! Pam
I remember when lard was a staple in everyone's grandmother's kitchen. My mom never used it and I haven't either. It did make baked goods taste so good, but the thought of it doesn't really appeal anymore does it?
What would one use I wonder instead of lard? My mom always used lard for piecrusts, oh my, it made such a difference, that is missing in today's pies. It was such an odd looking package in the refrig...remember?

ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful! I've never used lard. I know it is supposed to be very bad for you, but once in a great while it wouldn't hurt, would it? ;)
