astly, just before
frying, add the stiffly-beaten whites of eggs and mix well together. Put
on fire an iron skillet with a close-fitting top; heat in two
tablespoons of rendered butter; when very hot, pour in enough of the
batter to cover the bottom of the skillet, cover at once with the top,
and when the pancake is brown on one side, remove the top and let it
brown on the other side. Take it up with a perforated skimmer, lay on a
plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar and some lemon juice. Serve at
once. Pancakes must only be made and fried when ready to be eaten, as
they fall from standing.

BREAD PANCAKES

Soak stale bread overnight in sour milk, mash the bread fine in the
morning, and put in one-half teaspoon of salt, two eggs, two teaspoons
of baking soda, dissolved in hot water, and thicken with finely sifted
flour.

RICE PANCAKES OR GRIDDLE CAKES

Boil in a double boiler one pint of milk, three tablespoons of rice and
two tablespoons of granulated sugar. It will take from fifty to sixty
minutes for the rice to be thoroughly cooked, and the mixture to
thicken. Remove from the fire and when a little cool, add one tablespoon
of vanilla and the yolk of egg into which one tablespoon of flour has
been smoothly stirred. Mix all thoroughly together, then pour, by
spoonfuls, on hot buttered griddle. Let the cakes brown on one side, and
turn over, and brown on the other.

GRIMSLICH

Half a loaf of bread, which has been soaked and pressed, two eggs;
one-half cup of sugar, one-fourth cup raisins, one tablespoon of
cinnamon, and one-fourth cup of almonds pounded fine. Beat whites to a
froth and add last. Drop by tablespoonful and fry. Serve with stewed
fruit. Pieces of stale bread can be used. Soak in tepid water. Squeeze
water thoroughly from bread and make as directed.

POTATO PANCAKES

Peel six large potatoes and soak several hours in cold water; grate,
drain, and for every pint allow two eggs, about one tablespoon of flour,
one-half teaspoon of salt, a little pepper; a little onion juice may be
added if so desired. Beat eggs well and mix with the rest of the
ingredients. Drop by spoonfuls on a hot greased spider in small cakes.
Turn and brown on both sides. Serve with apple sauce.

When eggs are very expensive the cakes can be made with one egg. When
required for a meat meal, the pancakes may be fried in drippings; the
edges will be much more crisp than when fried in butter, which burns so
readily.
