Sauteed mushrooms and crisp bacon on a baking powder biscuit....yum! 


Some of my German recipes call for 'hartshorn' as an ingredient.  Do we
have any animal chemists on the list to know if deer antlers contain
cream of tartar or something like baking powder or soda?  If so, it may
be a leavening in period.

More research and cross-documentation needed--my book is taken from a
16thC. handwritten copy, but a few of the recipes have later changes. 
Maybe I'll find this in the facsimiles I'll be getting.  I'd like to know
what others have found.
