Lard is our go-to cooking fat in the kitchen. Cooking eggs, use lard. Sauteeing veggies, use lard. Deep or shallow frying, use lard. When we need to lube a pan, dish, cooking sheet, etc., use lard. Old-fashioned stove-made popcorn, use lard. Recipes that call for any oil, substitute lard. Need butter for a recipe? Try lard.
Bakers love lard! Pie crusts, biscuits, cookies... yum!
For a real treat just try some warm lard, a little salt, and some nice bread. You may never ask for butter on your toast again.
Don’t want to eat it? Try making soaps, candles, lip balm, or just season cast iron dishes.
