Not sure what you call it there, but I'm sure you know what shortening is.

When I think of lard, I think of the can that my mom would drain the grease in that sat on the counter. Then when it was full, it was put in a tray, then birdseed was rolled in it and it was hung out at winter for the birds.

Lard is animal fat. Crisco/shortenings are vegetable-based fats. Don't hear too much about lard now -- unhealthy. My grandmother certainly made the best pie crusts with it, though! Of course, we know now that shortening isn't very good for our arteries either. Just have to take it all in moderation, I guess!
This sounds like a good recipe. I'd be tempted to add some orange zest to the batter.
