How do southern folks celebrate Pi Day?

We fry up some Catfish.
Brined for 30 minutes, dipped in reconstituted buttermilk powder, dredged in AP and corn flour (yes corn flour). Fried in leaf lard and peanut oil.

Happy Birthday Albert Einstein!!

Gotta love this site.  I learned something new today - "leaf lard".

Oh yeah, the fish looks outstanding!!  I will have to try your coating method.

Yeah, leaf lard is the most clean, Snow White lard. The old fashioned lard is mainly rendered back fat.

I have seen leaf lard referenced in pastry baking recipes...So I am going to guess that it is "lighter" in texture, so that eh pastries would also be...?

My MIL used it making pies because it yields the flakiest crust.  I wanted some a while ago for something else but couldn't find any around here.  Ended up getting some some leaf lard fat from a farmer at a farmers market and I rendered it myself.  You are left with pure white lard and cracklins.

Leaf Lard is pure pork fat rendered down. If you want to fry something,leaf lard is as good as you can get.
