Stale Bread Griddle Cakes
- 2 cups stale bread crumbs
- 1 quart of milk
- 2 eggs
- 3 ounces of flour
- 1 teaspoon melted butter
- 1 scant teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Soak 2 cups stale bread crumbs for approximately an hour in 1 quart of milk which has been made hot to the point of boiling to pour atop them; beat 2 large eggs till light, yolks and whites separate; into the soaked bread batter put first the beaten yolks, then 3 ounces of flour, 1 teaspoon melted butter, 1 scant teaspoon salt; beat thoroughly, and then stir in very delicately 2 teaspoons baking powder and the beaten whites. Grease the griddle, and bake quickly in small cakes. These are about the lightest and most digestible griddle cakes that are made.
