Title: How do southern folks celebrate Pi Day?
Post by: 1Bigg_ER on March 14, 2015, 09:58:54 PM: 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!!

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

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.

For flavor, an all butter pie dough can't be beat. But texture wise, a combo of lard and butter is superior.

I have used that the most..half butter and half crisco or half lard. all butter, etc..just experimenting. I can have pie crust in 5 minutes. Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.
