Two and a half cups of flour, one-half a teaspoonful of salt, two cups of sour milk, one and a quarter teaspoonfuls of soda, one egg.

Mix and sift flour, salt, and soda; add sour milk, and egg well beaten. Drop by spoonfuls on a greased hot griddle; cook on one side. When puffed, full of bubbles, and cooked on edges, turn, and cook other side. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
