BASIC
SODA BISCUIT
One quart of sifted flour, one
teaspoon of soda, two teaspoons of cream of tartar, one teaspoon of salt;
mix thoroughly, and rub in two tablespoons of butter and wet with one pint
of sweet milk. Bake in a quick oven. |

BASIC
BAKING POWDER BISCUIT
Two pints of flour, butter the
size of an egg, three heaping teaspoons of baking powder and one teaspoon
of salt; make a soft dough of sweet milk or water, knead as little as possible,
cut out with the usual biscuit-cutter and bake in rather a quick oven. |

SOUR
MILK BISCUIT
Rub into a quart of sifted flour
a piece of butter the size of an egg, one teaspoon of salt; stir into this
a pint of sour milk, dissolve one teaspoon of soda and stir into the milk
just as you add it to the flour; knead it up quickly, roll it out nearly
half an inch thick and cut out with a biscuit-cutter; bake immediately
in a quick oven.
NOTE: Very nice biscuit
may be made with sour cream without the butter by the same process. |

EGG
BISCUIT
Sift together a quart of dry
flour and three heaping teaspoons of baking powder. Rub into this thoroughly
a piece of butter the size of an egg; add two well-beaten eggs, a tablespoon
of sugar, a teaspoon of salt. Mix all together quickly into a soft dough,
with one cup of milk, or more if needed. Roll out nearly half of an inch
thick. Cut into biscuits, and bake immediately in a quick oven from fifteen
to twenty minutes. |

VINEGAR
BISCUITS
Take two quarts of flour, one
large tablespoon of lard or butter, one tablespoon and a half of vinegar
and one teaspoon of soda; put the soda in the vinegar and stir it well;
stir in the flour; beat two eggs very light and add to it; make a dough
with warm water stiff enough to roll out, and cut with a biscuit-cutter
one inch thick and bake in a quick oven. |

BEATEN
BISCUIT (An old-fashioned Southern Recipe)
Two quarts of sifted flour,
a teaspoon of salt, a tablespoon of sweet lard, one egg; make up with half
a pint of milk, or if you don't have milk, plain water will do; beat well
until the dough blisters and cracks; pull off a two-inch square of the
dough; roll it into a ball with the hand; flatten, stick with a fork, and
bake in a quick oven.
It is not beating hard that
makes the biscuit nice, but the regularity of the motion. Beating hard,
the old cooks say, kills the dough. |
