Mix the flour, salt, nutmeg and sugar together in a warm basin and then rub in the butter into this dry mixture

Add a little warm milk to the beaten eggs and gradually pour into the dry ingredients, beating well with a wooden spoon to make a smooth batter. If the batter appears to be too stiff, a little warm milk may be added

Allow to stand for half an hour, and then fold in the baking powder but do not beat

Now drop gently from a tablespoon on to a moderately hot, well greased bakestone and bake the pancakes until light brown on both sides

Put on a plate, spread each with butter and sprinkle with sugar

Continue to bake with the remainder of the batter in the same way
