Gold Rush Grub
Best Food Choices While Gold Panning
Last month, we shared a recipe for "Hangtown Fry" (link to prev. blog), a popular miner meal. This month, we’re back with another traditional recipe for miners: Hard Tack Biscuits. Hard tack bread was commonplace during the 49er gold rush, since its ingredients were relatively easy to acquire. As their name suggests, hard tack biscuits are traditionally hard and dry, and they’re definitely worth a try! Interested in learning more about how your predecessors dined? Follow the recipe below!
Hard tack biscuits can be a filling meal while gold panning.
Ingredients:
- lb flour
- ½ pint water
- ½ tablespoon sea salt
- 2 oz. butter
- Substitute ½ pint skim milk for ½ pint water.
Directions (traditional recipe):
- Combine flour, water, and sea salt in mixing bowl.
- Knead dough until thoroughly mixed.
- Roll dough out until fairly thin.
- Cut the dough into rounds using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass.
- Place on baking tray and use a toothpick to poke several holes in the surface of every biscuit (this will allow air to escape during the baking process).
- Bake slowly at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 30-45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool.
