Sweet Quick Bread Recipes: Frequently Asked Questions

History of Homemade Baked Goods

These mouthwatering sweet breads have a rich history that spans cultures and continents. Did you know that biscuits have been around since the Roman Empire? They were originally twice-baked to make them last longer for soldiers on long marches, so they weren't as light and flaky as those we enjoy today.

Also, the invention and eventual refinement of baking powder in the mid-1800s opened the door to a world of new possibilities. Light textured, fluffy biscuits, crumbly scones, and fancy buns all became possible for the home baker.

However, despite countless advancements, the heart of baking — the simple ingredients, the care, the joy — has remained almost the same. A well-made biscuit or scone draws on the same baking principles it would have a century ago.

By continuing the tradition of baking these timeless sweet quick bread recipes, we pay homage to the rich history and evolution of these cherished homemade treats.
