Serving Size  : 4    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Cakes

 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  8       oz           Flour
    1/2   ts           Bicarbonate of soda
    1/2   ts           Cream of tartar
    1/2   ts           Baking powder
  1       oz           Butter
  1       t            Golden syrup
                       Buttermilk, Or
                       Full cream milk OR
                       Sour milk

 Tip:- To test for the correct heat of the girdle
 sprinkle it with a little flour. If the flour browns
 at once it is too hot; it should take a few seconds to
 turn colour.

 Sift the flour into a bowl. Add the other dry
 ingredients and mix. Rub in the butter. Add the syrup
 and sufficient milk and mix with a palette knife to a
 soft consistency. Turn On to a floured surface and
 roll quickly and lightly (handle as little as posible)
 to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut in rounds. Grease and
 heat the gridle and, with a slice or broad knife, turn
 once until brown on both sides. Serve freshly baked,
 spread with butter.
