In 1866, ladies sent their favorite recipes to the newspaper. My great great grandmother cut out recipes she liked and pasted them over her college teaching notes. The recipes that follow are copied exactly as printed in 1866.
Therefore, an explanation of common baking terms in the 19th century may be of help.

sweet milk- fresh milk

steaming bread-bread dough is put in a greased pail and set in a kettle of boiling water. Cover the whole kettle to prevent steam from escaping. Keep water to a simmer throughout the steaming process.

sour milk- add one teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice to one cup of milk.

scalded milk- bring milk nearly to a boil 185°F stirring continuously

Despite the summer heat, making biscuits means you and your family get nutrient-packed, delicious, easily-digested foods. Making parsley-basil garlic biscuits takes a little patience if you want fluffy inside texture and a crunchy exterior. Make a double batch of biscuits at a time so that you only heat the kitchen once. Parsley-basil garlic biscuits will bake in an oven, toaster oven, electric skillet or on a grill equally well, with a few minor modifications.
