Unfortunately, even if you just use a little bit of lard, you can't share the baked goods with any of your Jewish or Muslim friends.
and . . . Crisco has modified their formulation to be trans-fat free.
does not bake the same anymore, either.
interesting - the "original" has plum disappeared in our markets!The no trans fat formula is an added product. The original is still available

What's the difference in the baked goods with the new stuff?
Your statement, while well meaning, is very misleading. I am Jewish and would happily eat something with lard. 99% of the Jews I know (in the hundreds of people) would have no problem with it either. Just because someone is Jewish does not automatically mean they keep kosher. I am assuming the same sort of thing is true for Muslims.
Did you ever get a reply to this message? I know that a lot of Italian Wedding cookies tend to be similar to Butterballs or Mexican Wedding Cookies. There is also another one - I wish I could post the photo - it looks like layers with jelly inside and the layers are different colors - with chocolate on top. None of these have cream cheese that I know of....Jim in Phoenix: my mom was raised in an ol Catholic Italian family & has been desperatley searching for a recipie that her grandmother used to make. The only description she has is that it took quiet a while to make, had a fruit filling & she believes that cream cheese was in the batter. Any ideas?
I would love to get some of your mothers recipes if you are one to share. Thanks for a newbie to the forums
