GRIDDLE CAKES
BAKING POWDER GRIDDLE CAKES
Add the beaten egg to the milk, stir in the salt, sugar and softened butter, and sift in the flour in which the baking powder has been mixed. Use enough flour to make a batter like that of cake.
Corn meal with part flour, buckwheat or graham flour, may be substituted.
In berry season, huckleberries, blueberries or raspberries added to the above griddle cake batter, are delicious.
Cold boiled rice and left over cereals may be stirred in almost any recipe for griddle cakes.
A little vinegar added to the sour milk batter of griddle cakes just before frying, is good.

SUGAR SYRUP FOR HOT CAKES
Into one cupful of cold water in a quart basin, stir all the granulated sugar that will dissolve. More sugar and water can be added as necessary to keep the syrup the right consistency.
