6 tablespoonsful of flour
1/3 tablespoonful of baking powder

Mix this thoroughly

Add enough water to make a batter that will drop freely from the spoon. Add a pinch of salt and two pinches of sugar.

Cook in hot frying pan, well greased, for five or seven minutes and then turn with a quick toss and cook the other side.
