Hunting for Lard
Can anybody tell me where I can buy leaf lard in Atlanta? The lard available in grocery stores is partially hydrogenated, and not really suited for puff pastries.
Thanks,

Check with a butcher shop. And... Please refrain from posting HTML in
Usenet newgroups. It doesn't work.

I would also check in any Mexican markets that may be in the area.

Mexican markets is where I've had the most luck. They make it onsite, as you
might guess.

Tagging onto this again: If it were me, I would use butter for puff
pastry.

Butter for puff pastry is certainly the classic ingredient. Have any of you
tried butter substitutes, like the produce we use named "I can't believe
it's not butter"?

I didn't think one was supposed to bake with those fake spreads? I doubt
you'd have much success, y'know?

Once you try to bake with it, you'll believe it's not butter. It is a
perpetually soft oil and water emulsion that has too low a melting point
to survive the working and baking process.

Look at the oil content. Some of those spreads have more water than
they do oil. They aren't even good for sautéing or making grilled
cheese sandwiches. "Margarine", OTOH, is always guaranteed to have
80% vegetable oil, at least. And it doesn't cost much more than
those "spreads".

Of the 470,000 recipes for "puff pastry" on Google, 454,000 of them
don't contain the word "lard".
