Common Pancakes
Make a light batter of eggs, flour, and milk. Fry in a small pan, in hot dripping or lard. Salt, or nutmeg and ginger may be added.
Sugar and lemons should be served to eat with them. Or, when eggs are scarce, make the batter with flour, and small beer, ginger, &c. Or clean snow, with flour, and a very little milk, will serve as well as eggs.
