Apple Pancakes with Maple Syrup Butter

This is one of my favorites. I haven't made it in a while but it's so yummy!
I got it from this book. I really need to get this book out more and cook from it. Some very yummy looking recipes in here I really should try!

Ingredients:
scant 1 1/2 c. self rising flour
1/2 c. superfine sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 egg
scant 1 c. milk
2 apples, peeled and grated
1 tsp. butter
MAPLE SYRUP BUTTER
3 oz. butter softened
3 tbsp. maple syrup

Makes 18 pancakes to serve 4-6

Mix the flour, sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl and make a well in the center. Beat the egg and the milk together and pour into the well. Using a wooden spoon, gently incorporate the dry ingredients into the liquid until well combined, then stir in grated apple.

Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over low heat until melted and bubbling. Add tablespoons of the pancake mixture to form 3 1/2 in circles. Cook each pancake for about 1 min, until it starts to bubble lightly on the top and looks set, then flip it over and cook the other side for 30 seconds, or until cooked through. The pancakes should be golden brown; if not, increase the heat a little. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat the process until all the pancake batter has been used up (It is not necessary to add extra butter).

To make the maple syrup butter, melt the butter with the maple syrup in a pan over low heat and stir until combined. To serve, place the pancakes on serving dishes and spoon over the flavored butter. Serve warm.
