The awareness of sin, a deep awareness of disobedience, and painful confession of sin used to be our shadow. Christians hated sin. They feared it, they fled from it, they grieved over it. Some of our [forefathers] agonized over their sins. A man who lost his temper might wonder if he could still go to holy communion. A woman who for years envied her more attractive and intelligent sister might wonder if this sin threatened her very salvation... That shadow has dimmed. Nowadays the accusation, 'You have sinned,' is often said with a grin and with a tone that signals an inside joke. At one time this accusation still had the power to jolt people.

Eggs, Dairy			10	4" cakes

INGREDIENTS

1	c	Cake Flour
1	ts	Sugar
1/2	ts	Salt
3/4	ts	Baking Powder
1/2	ts	Baking Soda
1		Egg
1	c	Buttermilk
2	tb	Butter; Melted

INSTRUCTIONS

Sift the flour before measuring. Resift with the sugar, salt, baking powder
and baking soda. Beat the egg until light. Add the buttermilk and melted
butter to the egg. Combine the sifted and liquid ingredients with a few
quick strokes. Cover and refrigerate the batter for at least four hours
before using (the longer the batter rests, the better it gets). Preheat the
griddle. When the griddle is ready (a drop of cold water skitters about on
the surface for several seconds before evaporating), use a tablespoon to
gently pour the batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on the
top surface. Check to see how well the bottom surface has browned and, when
ready, turn and cook the second side. Cook until the second side is done
(this takes much less time than the first side). Serve hot with syrup,
bacon, sausage, etc.
