Buttermilk Griddle Cakes. — To have the cakes light and in perfection the buttermilk must not be strained, but should have the little particles of butter floating in it. To a pint of buttermilk allow a scant half-pint of clabbered milk ; mix, stirring in flour enough to make a stiff batter ; beat well, and until the lumps are all out; then add a teaspoonful of salt, and a teaspoonful of soda finely powdered and thoroughly stirred into a gill of flour

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
