Pancakes

• 4oz plain flour
• pinch of salt
• ½ pint milk

Sift flour and salt, and beat in milk and egg lightly. Beat with a fork till the mixture bubbles. Heat a frying pan well greased with lard and pour in a little batter. Tilt the frying pan at various angles quickly, to spread the batter all over the pan’s bottom. Cook till light brown underneath, then turn and cook briefly on the other side. Lift on to a plate and fold in three like an envelope
