DIRECTIONS
- Break the egg into a mixing-bowl, beat it, and remove half of it (about 2 tablespoons), stirring the milk with what remains in the bowl.
- Measure the flour, baking-powder, and salt into the sifter, and sift into the milk and egg, stirring well.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add it to the batter, and beat thoroughly.
- Set the griddle or frying-pan over the fire, and when it is very hot rub it with the salt pork.
- Pour the batter on the griddle or frying-pan by the tablespoonful, letting each spoonful spread as much as it will before adding another, and keeping them well separated.
- Run the pancake-turner beneath each cake once or twice while it is cooking; and when it has slightly browned on the bottom, turn it over and allow the other side to brown.
- Grease the griddle or frying-pan often between the various relays of cakes.
REMARKS
Sour milk may be used with this recipe, in which case omit the baking-powder and mix ½ teaspoon of soda with the sour milk.
