Using lard instead of butter in icing?!
My son can't have any dairy or soy, I am looking for an icing recipe that I can use to decorate his cake that uses lard instead of butter or shortingWww@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
You can simply replace the shortening, and or butter with lard!. Keep your lard at room temperature, and whip it with an electric mixer and the dough hook until it is fluffy before adding sugar!.
Try this one!.
1 cup of room temp lard whipped until almost twice its size!.
4 cups confectioners sugar added slowly, while whipping at slow to medium speed
1 capful, or 1 tsp of extract of your choice, Vanilla, Peppermint, Lemon, etc!.
If your frosting is too thick, add water, a tablespoon at a time, and whip thoroughly in
Oh and take a tip from Emeril Lagasse: Lard rules! It adds more flavor to cooked items!.
Here is an icing I've used on layer cakes, that is a bit like whipped cream icing!. Substitute lard for the butter, and water for the milk!. (Have you tried rice milk)
* 3 tablespoons flour
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 1 cup butter
* 1 cup milk
* 1 tsp vanilla
Blend flour in a little of the cold milk and then add rest of milk and cook, stirring constantly!. Cook flour and milk until very thick!. Remove from heat, and cool!. Cream sugar, butter and vanilla until very light and fluffy!. Add to first mixture!. It should have a light texture similar to whipped creme!. Frost all four layers and sprinkle with coconut!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would actually suggest using a margarine instead of lard!.
You can get canon la based margarines which apparently taste just like butter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just mix the lard with icing sugar and food coloring--sweeten to taste!. The icing will never get hard--they use it in the finest bakeries in the world!Www@FoodAQ@Com
