Put into a basin quarter pound sifted flour, one egg, quarter gill milk. Stir to a smooth paste; then add one and three-quarter gills of milk, two ounces fresh butter melted, and a small pinch of salt. Mix all well and if lumpy strain it. Put a small piece of butter into a cake pan; when melted pour in two tablespoonsful of the batter, spread it so that it covers the pan entirely. Fry till brown on one side, then toss it over till the other side is cooked and turn it out on a dish. When all the batter is cooked sprinkle the pancakes with sugar, and serve on a very hot dish with a cut lemon.

Pancakes

One and a quarter pounds of flour, nine eggs, one quart of milk, a little salt, beat the eggs well, add the milk, then stir in the flour. If still too thick, thin it with water or milk. The batter should be very thin, and very well beaten. Drop a piece of lard in the pan, and fry the cakes very thin.
