Pancakes For Shrove Tuesday Recipe

Ingredients, twelve ounces of flour, three eggs, one pint of milk, a

tea-spoonful of salt, a little grated nutmeg, and chopped lemon-peel.

First, put the flour into a basin, hollow out the centre, add the salt,

nutmeg, lemon-peel, and a drop of milk, to dissolve them; then break in

the eggs, work all together, with a spoon, into a smooth soft paste, add

the remainder of the milk, and work the whole vigorously until it forms

a smooth liquid batter. Next, set a frying-pan on the fire, and, as soon

as it gets hot, wipe it out clean with a cloth, then run about a

tea-spoonful of lard all over the bottom of the hot frying-pan, pour in

half a small tea-cupful of the batter, place the pan over the fire, and,

in about a minute or so, the pancake will have become set sufficiently

firm to enable you to turn it over in the frying-pan, in order that it

may be baked on the other side also; the pancake done on both sides,

turn it out on its dish, and sprinkle a little sugar over it: proceed to

use up the remaining batter in the same manner.
