Ground Rice Griddle Cakes.
1 pint of milk.
1-1/2 gills of water.
3 gills of wheat flour.
2 tablespoonfuls of rice flour.
1 tablespoonful of sugar.
1/2 teaspoonful of salt.
1/4 teaspoonful of soda.
2 eggs.
Put the milk on to heat in the double-boiler. Mix the rice flour with one gill of the water and stir into the boiling milk. Cook for twenty minutes, stirring often. Turn the cooked mixture into a large bowl and stir occasionally while cooling. This is to prevent the forming of a crust on the batter. When cold, add the salt and sugar, and the soda, dissolved in half a gill of cold water. Now beat in the flour. Finally add the eggs, whites and yolks beaten separately. Fry in small cakes on a hot griddle, and serve immediately.
