Sift flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda into a mixing bowl.
Make a well in the centre and add sugar, egg, sour milk and golden syrup which has been melted with 2 teaspoons butter.
Stir mixture, gradually incorporating flour, to make a smooth batter.
Grease a hot griddle or shallow frying pan and drop tablespoonfuls of the batter onto griddle.
