Yolk of two eggs, Two cupfuls of sour milk, One cupful flour.
in which you have dissolved one level teaspoonful of baking soda and one-half cupful of syrup.
Beat this mixture with a large spoon and now cut and fold in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs. Pour in hot, well-greased baking dish and bake in a quick oven.
To add soda to the sour milk, dissolve the soda in one tablespoonful of the milk before adding to the remainder of the milk, and then use a Dover egg-beater and beat for three minutes to thoroughly mix.
