I recreated this recipe using the recipe from the Watkins blue cookbook from 1938.

Griddle Cakes

2 cups flour

1 1/2 cups milk

3/4 tsp salt

3 eggs, yolks and whites beaten separately

1 Tablespoon granulated sugar

3 teaspoons baking powder

3 tablespoons melted butter

Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Beat yolks of eggs, add flour mixture alternately with milk. Finally add butter and fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Mix until thoroughly combined. Pour 1/4 – 1/3 cup of batter on to a hot greased griddle to fry griddle / pancakes. When 1 side starts to bubble then flip to cook the other side.
