Welcome back to baking school day 11! Today we are tackling the subject of the function of fat in baking!

The two types of fat function slightly differently in baking so let’s review each type! The recipe for the homework is in the written post.

Making Butter/Lard Mixture
To make THE BEST PIE EVER, start with making a mixture of half butter and half grass-fed lard. I have made thousands of pies, and this mixture by far makes the flakiest and tastiest crust ever!
Be sure the unsalted butter is SOFT before mixing it with the Lard. I mix together 1 1/2 cups Lard (12 oz) with 3 cubes SOFT butter to make a quadruple batch of my pie crust mix. In this video I mixed 3 X that much, so I could have it pre-measured and ready ahead of time!
According to Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D., one of America’s best known Intergrative Medicine Physicians…
“Nutritionally speaking, lard has nearly one-fourth the saturated fat and more than twice the monounsaturated fat as butter. It is also low in omega-6 fatty acids, known to promote inflammation; according to lard enthusiasts free-range pigs that eat greens, not grains, have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids…”
