Gforbes Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Does anyone know where I can buy lard (shortning) in Samui? Makro used to stock it but do no longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilly Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Sanphet supermarket in Nathon (left side just after entering one-way from Lamai direction) have the powdered version that can be mixed with water. You'll find down the bottom of the store where all the flours are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaPhom Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 If its for pastry, try the Derby pastry margarine, 110 Baht Kilo from Makro....silver pack with green writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notmyself Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Topic has not been moved so will answer here. Tesco sell Crisco which is shortening, not lard. Since the OP does not seem to mind which, the following method can be used to produce a shortening type of lard. If the OP wants the type of solid lard used in such things as hot water pastry (pork pie crust etc) then the method above will not work due to excessive heating. Hmmmm. It works but the pastry will taste like it has been fried rather than baked. Cut pork fat into to 1cm or 1/2 inch cubes. Place into a bowl and cover in foil but leave a small gap facing downwards at the side to allow steam to escape. Steam for an hour or so, sieve and let cool. Pure lard.
