Sift the flour and salt together. Break the egg in a 250 ml measuring cup and add the oil. Fill the cup to the 250 ml mark with a mixture of milk and water. Beat well.
Mix the flour and liquid to a form of dough. Shape into little balls and flatten them with your hand.
Bake the cakes for 12-15 minutes on a griddle over the coals, turning them once.
Serve hot with butter and syrup.
For a variation try using 170ml of beer instead of the egg, milk, oil and water. Cook on an oiled piece of foil laid on the grill.
