Yum, yum, yum...Since you mentioned using bacon fat, I have a container of 'leaf' lard that I made to use in pie crusts and was wondering what else I could use it for- now I know!! Also, how do you like the beater/wiper blade on your mixer?? I have a Kitchenaid and was thinking of getting a blade like that before the holiday baking season begins- does it do a good job actually swiping the sides?? As always, y'all rock! June June, it does do a great job. Just be aware KitchenAid says they'll void your warranty if you use it; though Cook's Illustrated tested, and said it's less wear and tear on the mixer using the silicone blade than the KA blade, as it takes much longer for the KA blade to do its work...
