Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.39 tablespoons of lard

Measuring Tip
Lard is solid at room temperature. Spoon it into the measuring spoon and pack gently, then level off. Softened lard is easier to measure than cold.

An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
