PANCAKES, SOUP OF (a German recipe)

Fry a couple of plain pancakes in the usual way, and be careful to put no more fat into the pan with them than is required to prevent them sticking. Drain them on an inverted sieve, or press them between two sheets of blotting-paper, to free them from grease, and cut them into narrow strips, about an inch long, or if preferred into small diamonds or squares. Throw them into a saucepan containing two pints of clear brown gravy soup, boiling hot; let them boil quickly for a minute or two, and serve. Time, ten minutes to fry the pancakes. Probable cost of pancakes, 4d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
