1 pint flour. 1/2 teaspoonful salt. 3/4 teaspoonful baking-powder.

1 quart milk.

3 eggs, beaten very light.

Mix the dry things thoroughly together. Then add the milk, stirring it in till the batter is perfectly smooth; lastly, beat in the eggs. (A few spoonfuls of freshly fallen snow make pancakes very light. It should be added the last thing before frying.) Have the fryingpan very hot, and grease it well with lard. Pour in enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan. Turn the cake when half done. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon or spread with jelly; roll up as you would a sheet of paper; and lay on a hot plate. Serve when a plateful is ready.

Pancakes should not be allowed to stand at all after being mixed, before they are fried.

English Pancakes

Like the last receipt, but omit the baking powder and use four eggs. Add at the last a little grated nutmeg and one tablespoonful brandy.
