Thanks Ron. One quart of whipping cream will make about a pound.

I have a question for you home bakers when you slow cook a brisquit is it ever really necessary to add pig lard? They do that down here on the southern border and it gives me the willies and they even call it BBQ (barbacoa). But once it is in the fridge it turns into a lump of fat. It is completely unseasoned meat to which you are expected to add salsa to. It is hard to call this stuff BBQ.

Last plate I bought was garnished with lime(big fan), onion(big fan) and cilantro(not a fan tastes like soap) and of course served with tortillas.

Follow on note apparently my dogs enjoy cilantro as I put the container down for them and everything but the salsa verde got eaten, maybe I am a food snob. Limes, onions, and cilantro are all gone now. Oh, I forgot to mention the extra tortillas dissappeared last night when I went to bed and left them out. 100% certain a dog was involved in that! The food thief is my Chocolate lab I doubt there is a surface in this house she can't get to. I could probably nail tortillas to the ceiling and not find them there in the morning.

It sounds like a type of Mexican preparation and likely very old.

We are just getting back to using lard...It is turning out that lard is on a par with coconut oil for its health effects...It is not particularly bad for you or good for you like butter

I used a doughnut recipe for the bread machine. It’s actually a biscuit recipe. The woman posting the recipe also enjoyed donuts made from Pillsbury biscuit dough in her youth. If you have never made donuts from biscuits, all you do is use a drink cap to cut a hole in the center. I’ve also squished them into shapes.

I love your sense of humor!
I’ve never added lard. I see the point, but I still wouldn’t do it.

I think meat products have enough fat as they are as well. I understand why they add the extra too just do not agree with it either.

On a side note:
I do love the Coca-Cola down here it is all from Mexico where they use sugar and not the corn syrupy stuff.

My wife is a huge coconut oil fan, she has been for years. I think we buy it by the galllon now at HEB! I love the way it tells you the temperature too, below 76F it is a solid.
EDITED:
Also including our latest rescue, her name is Nena, and she has been dumped twice, this time she will make her way north out of this south Texas H#llhole of a place and find a loving home.

I thought smears just were good on bagles.
