Canadian Buttermilk Pancakes With Maple Syrup

Every time we look at the cross, Christ seems to say to us, 'I am here because of you. It is your sin I am bearing, your curse I am suffering, your debt I am paying, your death I am dying.' Nothing in history or in the universe cuts us down to size like the cross. All of us have inflated views of ourselves, especially in self-righteousness, until we have visited a place called Calvary. It is there, at the foot of the cross, that we shrink to our true size.

INGREDIENTS

5	oz	Plain flour
1/2	t	Baking powder
1	pn	Salt
4		Buttermilk
3		Cold water
3		Eggs, beaten
1	oz	Lard, 1 to 2
		Pure maple syrup and creme
		fraiche to serve

INSTRUCTIONS

Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt together in a roomy bowl  and
make a well in the centre. After that, whisk the buttermilk and  water
in a jug and gradually whisk into the bowl.  2 Slowly incorporate the
flour with each new addition of liquid. Add  the eggs a little at a
time until you have a smooth batter.  3 Place a large, solid frying pan
over a medium heat, add 2 tsp lard  and heat it until the fat shimmers.
Using 1 tbsp batter per pancake,  place two or three spoonfuls into the
pan.  4 They will take about a minute to turn golden brown, turn them
over  using a spatula and fork, being careful not to splash yourself
with  the hot fat.  5 Give them another 45 seconds on the other side,
by which time they  should have puffed up like little souffles, and
then briefly rest  them on some kitchen paper to absorb any excess fat.
6 Repeat with the rest of the batter, adding some more lard, if
necessary. They will keep warm in a low oven, but to enjoy them at
their best eat as soon as they come out of the pan.  Converted by
