Geneva Griddle Cakes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pints Flour
• 4 tablespoonfuls Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoonful Salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoonfuls Baking Powder
• 2 tablespoonfuls Butter
• 4 each Eggs
• 1/2 pint Milk
• as needed Raspberry Jam
• as needed Sugar

Instructions

1. 1Rub the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Add the egg yolks one at a time. Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter until just combined.
2. 2Heat a lightly buttered griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each cake. Cook until the edges are set and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the cakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
3. 3Place the cooked cakes on a buttered baking tin. Spread raspberry jam over them. Bake more cakes and lay them on top of the jam-covered cakes. Repeat this process, using the jam twice. Bake another batch of cakes to cover the assembled cakes. Sift sugar plentifully over the assembled cakes. Place in a moderate oven (350°F / 175°C) to finish cooking for about 5-10 minutes, or until heated through.
