Lard Adventures
Oct. 30th, 2020 03:10 pmI have a ton of leaf lard, so I've tried two things. One is biscuits with home-ground flour (per cup of flour, 1/2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp baking powder). Cut in lard like you would butter, add milk, bake as you would regular biscuits. I quite like these, they're differently textured from regular biscuits and a little more savory, but good.
The other is Lard Sugar Cookies
1 cup lard
1.5 cups sugar
1-2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1.5 tsp vanilla
A splash of sweet cicily liqueur, because why not?
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups flour
Cream lard and sugar. Add egg, vanilla, sweet ciciley and beat until light and fluffy.
Mix baking powder, soda, and salt into flour. Add a cup at a time to lard mixture.
I formed this into cookies and then chilled it for half an hour or so before baking at, um... 350 or 400 for 12 minutes. The cookies rose way more than I was expecting!
