  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.
