2 c. sifted flour
5 tbsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 c. milk
6 tbsp. melted shortening or oil

Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Beat eggs in mixing bowl. Add milk, shortening and flour mixture. Stir until blended. Heat griddle or heavy frying pan slowly until moderately hot. Grease very lightly before baking each batch. Ladle or pour about 1/4 cup batter for each cake onto hot griddle. Bake until top side is full of bubbles that begin to break and edges are dry; turn and brown on other side.
