Griddle Cakes: Stir, don't beat, griddle-cake batter, and you needn't grease the griddle if the batter contains two or more tablespoons of shortening per cup of liquid. Turn griddle cakes when they're peppered with tiny holes, no sooner, and turn them just once. Drops of cold water "dance" on a hot-enough griddle. 3 cup milk
1 1/2 cups flour
3 tbsps. shortening, melted
3 eggs
2 tbsps. sugar
1 tsp. salt Sift flour, measure, add baking powder, salt and sugar. Combine egg, milk and melted shortening. Pour into flour mixture and mix just enough to moisten dry ingredients. Do not beat. Drop by spoonfuls on a hot griddle. Variation: Spread each cake, when baked, with jelly or jam. Roll as for jelly roll; sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Time, Temp and Yield: 8 large cakes |
