1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
2 cups sour milk*
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.

In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in sausage.

Heat a griddle or skillet.
