Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 oz Flour
1/2 ts Bicarbonate of soda
1/2 ts Cream of tartar
1/2 ts Baking powder
1 oz Butter
1 t Golden syrup
Buttermilk, Or
Full cream milk OR
Sour milk

Tip:- To test for the correct heat of the girdle
sprinkle it with a little flour. If the flour browns
at once it is too hot; it should take a few seconds to
turn colour.

Sift the flour into a bowl. Add the other dry
ingredients and mix. Rub in the butter. Add the syrup
and sufficient milk and mix with a palette knife to a
soft consistency. Turn On to a floured surface and
roll quickly and lightly (handle as little as posible)
to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut in rounds. Grease and
heat the gridle and, with a slice or broad knife, turn
once until brown on both sides. Serve freshly baked,
spread with butter.
