For anyone interested, lard is pig fat. A lot of old fashion recipes and European recipes use lard.

I may need to try it with coconut oil. That might be a good substitute. Coconut oil is solid at room temp, as is shortening. And it's vegan to boot!

Thank you MizMelly. One of my daughters is a semi-vegetarian (she eats fish but no other meat). I'm going to give it a go with butter and see how that turns out. As they say if you don't try it, you'll never know.
I love seeing recipes for things that we wouldn't normally have here. The same if anybody wants some traditional Irish recipes let me know and I'll post them for you.

Regarding the shortening remarks, I am going to try some coconut oil too - never thought of that.
I make my grandmother's recipe for yeast rolls (dinner rolls) and it calls for chicken fat (schmaltz).
One can buy schmaltz - I 'make' my own when I roast a chicken by refrigerating the drippings and skimming the fat when it solidifies. I will use butter if I don't have any, though I prefer the schmaltz.
It doesn't make the rolls taste like chicken, it simply gives a very tender dough.
The recipe calls for 6 T of chicken fat. That's about what I get from one chicken.

I'm always learning something on here. Never thought of using chicken fat in anything or that it was called schmaltz.
