Sour Milk Griddle Cakes.

1 pint of sour milk.

1 generous pint of sifted flour.

1 teaspoonful of salt.

1 rounded teaspoonful of soda.

1 teaspoonful of sugar.

1 tablespoonful of butter.

1 tablespoonful of water.

1 egg.

Dissolve the soda in the water and stir into the sour milk. Add the flour, salt, and sugar, and beat well; then add the egg, well beaten, and the butter, melted. If there be plenty of sour cream, use a gill, and omit the butter. Put the cream in the measure and then fill up with the sour milk.
