Anyone ever make a roux with lard?

The lard I have is first ingredient, lard second hydrogenated lard and then citric acid. Nothing else. Anyone do it? Results?

Its fat and flour. Should be just fine. A bit rich but fine.

I've used rendered lard from cooking cracklins before and it makes a good roux with some flavor right out the gate.
A roux is nothing more than some type oil and flour so lard fills the bill for 1/2 of the recipe.

I'm guessing early gumbo makers used lard, since that's what was probably available. (I'm old, but not really old enough to have been around back then.)

It’s what I use every time

I made one with bacon grease a few weeks ago for a gumbo. Came out great.

Why does your lard have 3 ingredients? You should avoid any sort of hydrogenated fat. It will have trans fats, which are objectively awful for you.
Most cracklin places will sell you real lard for 5 bucks a gallon.

Yep. Also pretty much every Mexican mart will sell fresh rendered lard (Manteca)

I half cook my cut up sausages in the pan, and pull them out then add just a little oil for my grease.

This is the only right answer.
