Griddle Cakes and Waffles
Griddle cakes, as made today with Royal Baking Powder have become most popular. Properly made they are delicious, healthful, appetizing and nutritious.
The batter must be thin. The cakes should be small and not top thick—about one-eighth inch when baked.
An iron frying pan may be used instead of griddle. In any case grease only enough to keep the cakes from sticking. Turn only once.
