1910 Rumford Southern Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipe - Old Cookbook Show
Rumford Southern Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipe - Old Cookbook Show
Today we look at a recipe from one of our old cookbooks for Southern biscuits made with sweet potato. In this time period potato biscuits were popular, and sweet potato biscuits especially so. The potatoes make a super light and soft biscuit, even if you have the 'wrong' flour.
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
6 teaspoons Rumford Baking Powder **I misspoke in the video, it's definitely 6 teaspoons
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons shortening
1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato
About 1 cup milk
Method:
Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together, cut in the shortening, add the potatoes, then the milk gradually, and mix to a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured board and roll out one-half inch thick, cut into biscuits, place on a baking sheet and bake twelve to fifteen minutes in a hot oven.
**I misspoke in the video, it's definitely 6 teaspoons of baking powder.

From the Hearth: 1824 Tavern Biscuits
This receipt appeared in Mary Randolph's 1824 cookbook entitled The Virginia Housewife or Methodical Cook. It is often called America's first cookbook since most of the receipts are genuinely American-made.
This particular receipt is one of our favorites to make at Stephenson House. It's simple to make with the final product a perfect mix between a cookie and a cracker. Not much is known about its origins and we were unable to find it listed in any cookbooks or referenced any earlier than 1824.
Tavern Biscuits, c. 1824
To one pound of flour, add half a pound of sugar, half a pound of butter, some mace and nutmeg powdered, and a glass of brandy or wine; wet it with milk, and when well kneaded, roll it thin, cut it in shapes, and bake it quickly.
Our Recipe Conversion

1939 Sour Cream Cookies - Old Cookbook Show - Home Ec Spice Cookies Recipe
1939 Sour Cream Cookies - Old Cook Book Show
This cookie recipe is from the Home Economics textbook used in Spokane Washington in 1939. They were a good cookie, but needed a lot more sour cream than the recipe called for. This is a light spice cookies recipe on the old cookbook show.
Sour Cream Cookies
2 ¼ c. sifted flour (I did sift)
3 t. baking powder
½ t. soda
¼ t. salt
½ c. shortening
⅔ c. packed brown sugar
1 egg beaten
½ c. heavy sour cream (recipe needed at least ½ cup extra)
½ t. cinnamon
¼ t. nutmeg
½ c. raisins
Method:
Sift flour once, measure add baking powder, soda, salt and sift together. Cream butter and add sugar gradually creaming until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat well. Add flour, alternately with sour cream, beating after each addition until smooth. Drop from teaspoon on ungreased baking sheet and bake in a hot oven, 8-10 minutes.
Aunt Eileen's Sour Cream Cake:
***I know that in the video it sounds like I didn't sift the flour before measuring - But I did. In older recipes like this that ask you to sift, then measure; sifting is important to get the right measurement. Recipes that ask you to measure, then sift; I hardly ever sift.
