3 tablespoonfuls Crisco
2 teaspoonfuls salt
1 yeast cake
3 cupfuls rye flour
1 cupful white flour
4 cupfuls boiling water
In evening add Crisco, sugar, and salt to boiling water; cool, add
yeast cake mixed with a little tepid water or sugar, rye flour and
white flour. Allow to rise and in morning add more white flour, a
little at a time, to make a stiff dough. Let rise, knead again and
bake in Criscoed pie tins or cake tins as it will rise better than
if baked in bread tins. Bake in hot oven half hour. When taken out of
oven brush crust with a little melted Crisco.
Sufficient for four loaves.
Twin Biscuits
1 cupful milk
1/2 teaspoonful salt
2 teaspoonfuls baking powder
2 cupfuls flour
2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together, rub in Crisco with tips
of fingers, then add milk. Pat and roll out dough, cut with cutter,
brush with melted Crisco, place one on top of another, lay on Criscoed
tin and bake in hot oven from ten to twelve minutes.
Sufficient for twelve biscuits.
Waffles
3 cupfuls flour
2 tablespoonfuls melted Crisco
1/2 teaspoonful baking soda
1 teaspoonful salt
1 tablespoonful sugar
2 cupfuls sour milk
2 eggs
Mix and sift dry ingredients, add milk gradually, yolks of eggs well
beaten, melted Crisco, and whites of eggs beaten to stiff froth; cook
on hot waffle iron greased with Crisco. Serve with maple syrup, or
honey and butter.
Waffles may be served for breakfast, luncheon, supper or high tea. A
waffle iron should fit closely on range, be well heated on one side,
turned, heated on other side, and thoroughly greased with Crisco
before iron is filled. In filling, put tablespoonful of mixture in
each compartment near the center of iron, cover, and mixture will
spread to fill iron. If sufficiently heated, it should be turned
almost as soon as filled and covered. In using new iron, special care
must be taken in greasing, or waffles will stick.
Sufficient for six waffles.
