Wheat (or Flannel) Cakes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pints All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoonful Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoonful Salt
• 2 heaping teaspoonfuls Royal Baking Powder
• 2 Eggs
• 1 1/2 pints Milk
• as needed Maple syrup

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, salt, and Royal Baking Powder. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, creating a smooth batter that runs in a continuous stream from a pitcher.
2. 2Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. The cakes should be about the size of tea saucers.
3. 3Serve the wheat cakes immediately with maple syrup.
