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.

DROP BISCUITS



Drop Biscuits image

Drop biscuits are heavenly, and considering how little work they are to put together, they're also a real kitchen miracle. A few pantry staples and a hot oven are all you need for crunchy golden biscuits with soft interiors. They are excellent on their own, but a bit of butter and jam doesn't hurt either. Once you've nailed the basic version, try stirring in some cracked black pepper and Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely chopped tender herbs or chocolate chips.

Time 30m

Yield 8 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
10 tablespoons/141 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3/4 cup whole milk, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons, if needed

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is the texture of coarse meal with some pea-size pieces.
  • Using a fork, stir in the milk until just evenly moistened, adding up to 2 more tablespoons, if necessary, but stopping before the dough gets too wet. Scoop the dough into 8 rough mounds (about 1/3-cup each) and place them on the prepared sheets. Bake the biscuits until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flour: Rye flour is the main ingredient in these biscuits, and it gives them their distinctive flavor and texture. Make sure to use a high-quality rye flour for best results.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the biscuits rise and keep their shape.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the biscuits rise quickly and develop a crispy crust.
  • Serve the biscuits warm: Rye drop biscuits are best served warm, either on their own or with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Rye drop biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make addition to any meal. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these biscuits are sure to be a hit. With their simple ingredients and quick preparation time, rye drop biscuits are a great option for busy home cooks.
