Method of Preparation

Sift flour, salt, and pepper—measure milk—separate yolk of 1 egg and add to 1 whole egg—melt butter and cool slightly.

Method of Cookery

1. Combine dry ingredients, make a well in center, and add eggs and milk gradually, beating all the time.
2. Add cooled melted butter, beat well, and leave covered for at least 4 hours to allow starch cells to swell and absorb liquid.
3. This batter can be used for frying fish, pancakes, or fritters.
