[Sca-cooks] Spirits of hartshorn

[AEllin Olafs dotter]

There is, or was, something called Ammonia Biscuits. Not Chinese, but 
quite American. Suggests it could somehow be a leavening. I know I've 
seen references, I think in memoirs, now must go see if I have any 
actual recipes in my assorted circa 1900 cookbooks...
