Pancakes from 1881: Beat up three eggsa and a quart of milk; make it up into a batter with flour, a little salt, a spoonful of ground ginger, and a little grated lemon peel. Let it be of a fine thickness and perfectly smooth. Clean your frying pan thoroughly, and put into it a good lump of dripping or butter. When it is hot, pour in a cupful of batter and let it run all over of an equal thickness. Shake the pan frequently that the batter may not stick, and when you think it is done on one side, toss it over. If you cannot, turn it with a slice and when both are of nice light brown, lay it on a dish before the fire. Stew sugar over it and so do the rest. They should be eaten directly or they will become heavy.
