tallow or lard.
beef fat or pork fat. the best fat of either animal comes from the belly and neck.
1- allow the fat to rest and cool for 3 days if fresh.
2- remove all of meat and connective tissue from the fat.
3 skillet those pieces for your dog or throw away.
4- add the cleaned fat to a pot.
5- set temperature to medium low or as close to 140 you can get.
6- render uncovered til fat is melted. the key word is melted. tallow should look like canola oil. pork will look like weak milk.
7- allow to cool to room temp/next day. refrigerate until solid. cut the impurities off the top and bottom
8- portion and keep in the fridge for 6 months or freeze for years.
cooking a burrito to crispy in a little tallow is gorgeous. homemade lard is the genius to biscuit making
