If the had no pan they would get a flag of stone and they would put the flag standing against the kettle at the side of the fire and they would put the cake standing against the flag and they would be turning it until it would be baked.
    Potato cakes:- They would get potatoes that were boiled and they would peel them.

The made the brancakes the same way as the pancógs except they used bran instead of Indian meal.
