Ingredients: |
|
|
2 cups sifted flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped cracklings or crisp chopped bacon
3 tbsp. melted crackling or bacon fat
2 eggs
1/3 cup cream
Caraway seeds
|
Directions:
|
Sift the flour with the dry ingredients twice. Mix in the cracklings or bacon and the melted fat. Beat the eggs and reserve 2 tablespoons for glazing. To the remaining portion of the eggs, add the cream and stir into the flour mixture with a few swift strokes.
Handle the dough as little as possible. Place on a slightly floured board and pat to about 3/4 inch in thickness. Cut into diamonds with a knife, or into rounds with a cooky cutter.
Place on a greased baking sheet, brush with the reserved egg, and sprinkle lightly with the caraway seed. Bake in a very hot oven (450°F) for 10 to 12 minutes.

For cracklings use salt pork and fry until very crisp.
Flour and fat are staples of even the poorest families. Evidence of this is the popular Ukrainian saying--"Poverty has taught us to be thankful even for crackling korzhyky." Serve these biscuits at a light luncheon or with coffee.
