Flannel Cakes
Instructions:
- 1 tablespoonful of butter.
- 1 tablespoonful of sugar.
- 2 eggs.
- 2 cupfuls of flour.
- 1 teaspoonful of baking−powder.
- Milk enough to make a smooth, rather thin batter.
- Rub the butter and sugar to a cream, add the eggs, beaten together lightly, then the flour, in which you have mixed the baking−powder, and then the milk.
- It is easy to know when you have the batter just right, for you can put a tiny bit on the griddle and make a little cake;
- if it rises high and is thick, put more milk in the batter;
- if it is too thin, it will run about on the griddle, and you must add more flour; but it is better not to thin it too much, but to add more milk if the batter is too thick.
