Recipe - Scotch Pancakes

One fourth pound Plain white household flour
1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda
1 One half teaspoon Cream of tartare
1 ounce Caster sugar
1 Egg
One fourth pt Milk or cream

Sift the flour with the raising agents and stir in the sugar. Make a well
in the centre and break the egg into it. Whisk the milk into the egg, then
gradually incorporate the dry ingredients to make a very smooth, thick
batter. Alternately, simply mix everything together in a food processor.
If time permits let the batter stand for 30 minutes before cooking.
Heat a griddle, bakestone or castiron frying pan until very hot or
cook direct on the hot plate of an Aga. Grease your chosen surface lightly
with buttered paper, using just enough fat to prevent the pancakes from
sticking. Using a large metal spoon held point downward, drop a few small
rounds of batter on to the hot surface. Space them well apart. Cook over
steady heat until bubbles rise to the surface and the underside of the
pancakes are browned about 2 minutes. Loosen them gently with a palette
knife, then flip them over and cook for about 1 minute longer. Makes about
16 pancakes. Source: Philippa Davenport in "Country Living" (British),
