Directions

The book says “a hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

Prepare the dough

  1. Prepare Graham mush and let it cool.

  2. Mix in enough Graham flour to form a dough that can be rolled out.

  3. Knead the dough for a few minutes.

Shape and bake

  1. Roll the dough to ¾ inch thick.

  2. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter.

  3. Bake in a hot oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 to 45 minutes.

What each ingredient does

Graham mush
Provides moisture and body, so the dough holds together and bakes tender.
Graham flour
Forms the structure of the dough, giving the biscuits their shape and bite.

The step that matters

Knead the dough for a few minutes. Kneading develops gluten in the flour, giving the dough enough elasticity to roll out and hold its cut shape without crumbling.
