Beaten Biscuit
(An old-fashioned Southern
Recipe)
Ingredients:
8 cups of sifted flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of lard
1 egg
1 cup milk
Preparation:
- Make a
dough with 1 cup 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.
NOTE: 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.
