From "The Perfect Way in Diet."
"O Golden Age, whose light is of the dawn,
And not of sunset, forward, not behind,
Flood the new heavens and earth, and with thee bring
All the old virtues, whatsoever things
Are pure and honest and of good repute,
But add thereto whatever bard has sung
Or seer has told of when in trance or dream
They saw the Happy Isles of prophecy!
Let Justice hold her scale, and Truth divide
Between the right and wrong; but give the heart
The freedom of its fair inheritance."
--WHITTIER.
Bread, Biscuit, and Rolls.
BEATEN BISCUIT.--No. 1.
One quart of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted with the
flour, a quarter of a teaspoonful of salt, a large heaping tablespoonful
of butter, milk enough to make a stiff dough. Beat with a rolling pin or
in a biscuit-beater for ten or fifteen minutes until the dough blisters.
Roll out about half an inch thick or less, prick well with a fork and
bake in a quick oven.
BEATEN BISCUIT.--No. 2.
Two quarts of flour, three ounces of butter, a little salt and enough
water to make a stiff dough. Beat with a rolling pin or in a
biscuit-beater twenty minutes until the dough blisters or snaps. Roll
out about half an inch thick, prick well with a fork and bake in a quick
oven. This dough rolled very thin, cut with a large cutter, pricked well
and baked in a quick oven makes delicious wafers to serve with tea or
chocolate.
