  2. a half teaspoonful of salt
  3. a half teaspoonful of soda
  4. two beaten eggs

  1. Stir two cupfuls of milk into two beaten eggs;
  2. add enough flour to make a thin batter.
  3. Add a half teaspoonful of salt and a heaping teaspoonful of baking-powder.
  4. Sour milk can be used, in which case omit the baking-powder and add a half teaspoonful of soda.
