My grandma insisted I use lard in her biscuit recipe and I finally tried it
She always said the texture would be flakier than with butter, but I thought it was just an old-fashioned thing. I made a batch last weekend with the lard she mailed me from her farm in Kentucky, and the biscuits were completely different, way lighter. Has anyone else had a family cooking tip they doubted that turned out to be totally right?

My grandpa swore by bacon grease for his cornbread. Tried it once and now I'm a convert.
