RYE BISCUITS (1908)
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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Freshly milled rye flour, buttermilk, and butter are essential for the best flavor and texture.
- Follow the recipe carefully: Especially for the first time you make these biscuits. This will ensure that they turn out perfectly.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the biscuits hold their shape and rise evenly.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the biscuits rise quickly and develop a crispy exterior.
- Serve the biscuits warm: Freshly baked biscuits are the best! Serve them warm with butter, honey, or jam.
