1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda |

Directions:
1. Sift the flour, soda, cream of tartar and salt together into a bowl, then rub in the lard until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
2. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk or milk, beating lightly to give a dropping consistency. Drop the mixture, in spoonfuls on to a hot well greased griddle or frying pan and cook picketlets for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
