Tip:- To test for the correct heat of the griddle 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. Heat the girdle and sprinkle with flour, with a slice or broad knife, turn once until brown on both sides. Serve freshly baked, spread with butter.
