Twenty-One Different Ways to Make Biscuits

Los Angeles, CA: The Joannes-Splane Co. , [~1920]. Staplebound. Yellow printed wraps, Fine. 16 pages, 14.5 x 7.5 cm. The Joannes-Splane Co.’s Twenty-One Different Ways to Make Biscuits advertises the West Coast division of baking powder company Ben-Hur. This factory opened in 1917, as industry began to boom in California, shifting tides away from the dominant East Coast. This booklet is assembled by Mrs. Etta M. Plunkett and features many biscuit recipes after a brief description of their cream of tartar based baking powder.
