  • This great little dish won over my whole family, so they ask me to make these fritters all the time. They come out soft, juicy, and really tasty — as long as you follow the recipe. Lard fritters could become your signature dish; give them a go, and I'm sure you'll love them. I fell for them at first bite, even though the name itself threw me a little at first. It happened at my friend's cottage, where we were celebrating her birthday. She served me these fritters and asked me to guess what they were made of. It never crossed my mind that lard was the base — so imagine my surprise when it turned out to be exactly that. All in all, I really encourage you to try these fritters and form your own opinion!
