[Sca-cooks] Lemon syrup.

It's very simple. Equal parts of lemon juice (I'm planning on trying
this with other fruits as well) with sugar. I used turbadino sugar
because I feel it may be a little closer to period and definately
tastes better. Cook and stir over fairly low heat until the desired
consistancy is achieved. Then mix the syrup with either hot or
cold water to taste.

There are larger frying pans out there and, if used correctly, work
very well. The main thing is to avoid hot and cold spots and to
change temps gradually.

Actually I was planning on cooking the bread on an iron griddle.
The pottery frying pan was going to cook Chicken and Leeks.

I've heard of soapstone griddles but have no experience in how
well they actually work. Hoecakes got their name from being cooked
on hoe blades or shovels.
