BISCUIT RECIPES
59. Baking-Powder Biscuits.--The ability of the housewife as a cook is
very often judged by the biscuits she makes; but they are really very
simple to make, and if recipes are followed carefully and measurements
are made accurately, only a little experience is required to produce
145 / 151
excellent ones. The principal requirement in making baking-powder
biscuits, is that all the ingredients be kept as cold as possible
during the mixing. Tiny, thin biscuits may be split, buttered, and
served with tea, while larger ones may be served with breakfast or
luncheon. In order to utilize left-over biscuits of this kind, they may
be split and toasted or dipped quickly into boiling water and heated in
a quick oven until the surface is dry.
