An Improved Biscuit.
EDWARD WEDD SMITH 28 Rust Square Camberwell S E. Cook and Confectioner
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My said invention consists in the manufacture of an improved biscuit, composed
(in addition to the ordinary ingredients) of meats, game, poultry, ham, tongue, fish
or cheese. And the process of manufacture consists in reducing a given quantity of
one, two, or more of the latter ingredients to a pulp or purèè, in a condenser, thus
retaining all their essential properties. The pulp or purèè is prepared by adding
half a pint of water to each pound of meat, game, poultry, ham, tongue, or fish,
and placing the same in a covered and steam-tight vessel or condenser, which is
enclosed in another vessel containing steam. The meat &c. is thus condensed to
a purèè, without losing any of its nutriment or essense. This process usually
To each
occupies about 4 hours. The purèè is then passed through a fine sieve.
pound of the purèè I add six ounces of butter, one pound and a half of whole-meal,
one teaspoonful of cream of tartar, and half a teaspoonful of boracic acid.
Although I prefer the use of whole-meal, I do not confine myself thereto, as
other materials of an analogous nature may be used.
When cheese is added, it is prepared by grating or otherwise reducing it to a
granulated state.
The selected materials are then well mixed, with the addition of sufficient water
to form it into a stiff paste; and, having been cut or otherwise divided into suitable
portions to form biscuits, they are baked in the usual manner.
The cream of tartar and boracic acid are added in order to preserve the biscuits
and keep them sweet and wholesome for any length of time, while still retaining the
the flavor and nourishment of each specific ingredient.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
1. The improved biscuit substantially as herein before described.
2. In the manufacture of biscuits, the combination of meat, game, poultry, ham,
tongue, fish or cheese, or any one, two, or more of such ingredients, prepared as
aforesaid, and mixed with whole-meal or other analogous material, substantially as
herein before described.
