WARTIME BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



Wartime Buttermilk Biscuits image

This World War I-era recipe saved wheat by making biscuits with a 50/50 mix of flour and cornmeal. The original recipe called for "lard the size of a hen's egg;" 1/3 cup of shortening replaces the lard. This recipe was adapted from a recipe in "North Carolina's Role in the First World War" by Sarah McCulloh.

SOLDIER'S BISCUITS (ANZAC BISCUITS)



Soldier's Biscuits (Anzac Biscuits) image

From the handwritten recipe book of Margaret E. Walker's grandmother. Brian Wilson states:"Soldiers Biscuit was one of the original names for these biscuits and was only changed to ANZAC sometime after the Gallipol landing. Therefore, you can date the Soldier's Biscuit recipe to somewhere most likely between 1914 and 1920 or so. The anzac recipe however, would be dated after 1927 as they didn't begin to include coconut until after this year."
