POTATO CAKES
Made just as pancakes, only baked in the oven in a long cake pan with
plenty of butter or drippings under and above.
SOUR MILK PANCAKES
Mash fine and dissolve one level teaspoon of baking-soda in three cups
of sour milk; beat one egg well; then put in a little salt and one-half
cup of flour; stir in the milk, make a smooth batter, and last stir in
one tablespoon of syrup. Bake on a hot griddle.
FRENCH PANCAKE
Stir three egg-yolks with one-half teaspoon of salt and one-quarter cup
of flour, until smooth; add one cup of cold milk gradually, then fold in
the beaten whites. Heat pan, add two tablespoons of butter and when hot
pour in pancake; let cook slowly and evenly on one side, finish baking
in oven.

With a fork beat up one egg, one-half teaspoon of salt, add one cup of
water and one cup of sifted flour, beat until smooth. Grease a
frying-pan very slightly with butter or oil, pour in two tablespoons of

the pan. Fry over a low heat on one side only, turn out the semi-cooked
cakes on a clean cloth with the uncooked side uppermost; let cool.
Prepare a filling as for cheese kreplich, using one-half pound of
potcheese, a piece of butter size of an egg, add one egg, pinch of salt,

this mixture on the cooled dough, fold over and tuck the edges in well.
Then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon, and fry in plenty of oil
