My pie crust abilities are sort of "on again, off again." Once in a while they are an amazing delight, the rest of the time - problematic. I am interested in the leaf lard mentioned in several of the above comments. I had never heard of it. I have only used the 1/2# block of lard from the market….and then, only for bizcochitos, the traditional NM cookies. They don't taste right without it. We live in Phoenix, AZ. Where would I go to obtain leaf lard and how is it rendered exactly? I am always up for trying something different than I've tried before. Thank you.
