<br />
<br />
<u>"Ingredients</u><br />
<br />
4 teacups flour<br />
4 tablespoons caster sugar<br />
2 teacups milk<br />
2 whole eggs<br />
2 teaspoons bi-carbonate soda<br />
3 teaspoons cream of tartar<br />
2 tablespoons melted butter<br />
<br />
"Beat eggs, sugar and about half the milk together, add flour, and mix well together adding remainder of milk as required, also bi-carbonate and cream of tartar, fold in the melted butter.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Enough for 16 people</u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Though the quantities are for 16 people, when there are fewer, I generally put in less flour and milk, but use the other ingredients as stated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I have also tried using golden syrup or treacle instead of only sugar and that can be very good, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I think the mixture needs a great deal of beating while making, and shouldn't stand stand about too long before cooking."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And that's it!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will add a photo when I have tried...</div>
