Flannel Cakes

One-quarter pound sifted flour, two raw eggs, half ounce powdered sugar, one-quarter ounce baking powder, one saltspoon salt, half salt-spoon nutmeg, and half pint cold milk.

Place the flour in a bowl. Crack in the eggs, add the sugar, salt, nutmeg, baking powder and milk. Thoroughly mix with a whisk until well thickened. Lightly butter the bottom of a large frying pan with a little melted lard, and as soon as the bottom of the pan is thoroughly hot immediately pour in with the aid of a ladle the preparation, two and a half inches in diameter, four at a time, and cook one and a half minutes on each side. Dress on a hot dish covered with a napkin; proceed exactly the same till the preparation is all used, and serve with maple syrup separately.
