***There are pancake recipes in these pages, and when you prepare pancakes there are a few things you need to keep in mind. You should let the underside brown a bit, while paying particular attention to what the bubbles on the top of the pancake are doing. The top of your pancake batter should be bubbling, but those bubbles need to remain open before you flip or turn over your pancakes. Just because batter is bubbling doesn't not mean they are ready to turn. The bubbles will tell you when your pancakes are ready for turning. So pay close attention to them!

These are old recipes and most call for fat. Use either butter or Crisco for most of them.
