Honey Cakes

Quarter pound sifted flour, two raw eggs, one tablespoon honey, half ounce powdered sugar, quarter ounce baking powder, one saltspoon salt, half saltspoon grated nutmeg and half pint of cold milk.

Place the flour in a bowl, crack in the eggs, add the sugar, honey, salt, nutmeg, baking powder and milk. Mix with a whisk until thoroughly thickened. Lightly grease the bottom of a large frying pan with a little melted lard and, as soon as the bottom of the pan is thoroughly hot, with a two-and-a-half-inch ladle immediately pour in the preparation, making four at a time, and cook for one and a half minutes on each side. Dress on a hot dish, cover with a napkin, then proceed exactly the same till the preparation is finished, and serve with maple syrup separately.
