Ingredients
- 1 pint
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoonfuls
Directions
Materials— Milk, 1 pint ; flour, i lb. ; 1 egg ; salt, 2 teaspoonfuls ; baking powder, 2 teaspoonfuls.
Directions— Beat up the egg, add it to the milk. Mix the flour, salt, and powder together, dry, and then gradually with the egg and milk. Beat them up for twenty minutes. Put a little dripping into a hot tin, and make it bubble : then pour in the mixture, place the tin under the joint, and bake for one hour. Cut it in square pieces before serving.
This is equally good with beef, mutton, or pork. It will not be light unless it is beaten up to the moment of turning it into the hot tin ; and it must then be put into the oven directly. Each of you must learn to beat up a batter ; it will make your arms ache at first, but all must take a turn. While this is going on, we can prepare the sweet which is to follow.
