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.

Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups rye flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons shortening
1 small egg
3/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (hot oven).
  • Sift flour, baking powder and salt together.
  • Cut in the shortening.
  • Mix in egg and milk to make a light dough.
  • Roll out on a lightly floured board and cut into biscuit shapes.
  • Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Bake until browned on top, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flour: Rye flour is the key ingredient in these biscuits, so choose a high-quality flour that is finely ground. You can also use a blend of rye flour and all-purpose flour, but the more rye flour you use, the denser the biscuits will be.
  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help to create a flaky texture in the biscuits. Cut the butter into small pieces and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscuits tough. Stir the ingredients together just until a dough forms.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help to develop the flavor and make the biscuits less likely to spread in the oven.
  • Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: A high oven temperature will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

Rye biscuits are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed on their own or with a variety of toppings. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect rye biscuits at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give rye biscuits a try!
