Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 to 4 cups flour, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

  1. Beat eggs and add sugar and milk.
  2. Sift half the flour, salt and baking powder together and add to milk and egg mixture. Beat the batter smooth and add only as much more flour as needed. Batter should be thin enough to run through a funnel.

  4. Serve hot with molasses, tart, jelly, jam or a sprinkle of confectioners sugar.
