RYE BISCUITS (1908)



Rye Biscuits (1908) image

This is one of a number of historical recipes I am posting from my cookbook collection. This recipe is adapted from the Rumford Complete Cookbook. At the time this recipe was first published, ovens did not have heat regulators, so recipes specified only "hot," "moderate" or "slow/cool" temperatures. This recipe is also unusual in that it calls for a small egg. Rumford Baking Powder is still being made, by the same company that makes Clabber Girl.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your biscuits will be. Look for high-quality rye flour, buttermilk, and butter.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make your biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the biscuits rise properly and give them a flaky texture.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the biscuits rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't over-bake the biscuits: Over-baking the biscuits will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Heirloom rye biscuits are a delicious and versatile bread that can be served with a variety of meals. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With their slightly sour flavor and tender texture, these biscuits are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
