W. O. obtained this recipe from either a cook or more than one cook who fed cowboys from the chuckwagon.
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
Mix these dry ingredients together.
Next mix:
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/3 cup corn syrup
1 tablespoon oil
Combine all ingredients in a covered bowl. Allow to stand over night, this eliminates lumps and bubbles. The corn syrup gives a more golden appearance. Pour on a hot griddle and serve.
