Fried Eggs

Now I am a bit odd where fried eggs are concerned. I guess if I actually thought about it, I don't really like egg white. My Dad (sadly now departed) was the only one who could fry an egg to my liking.

Sunny side up but the white should be crispy round the edges (almost burnt underneath), but the yoke should still be slightly runny.

Using a very high heat and vegetable lard, I can get close but usually end up with a solid yoke. My Dad was the master.

Try using more lard than you normally would as this get a deeper fry going with the high heat. Also take the egg off before you think it is done, it will continue cooking after it leaves the pan.
