Vanilla Hotcakes with apple

Ingredients
1 tspn baking soda
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
2 tspn cream of tartar
pinch salt
1 tspn vanilla paste
1 egg
2 tblspn sugar
10g melted butter

Dissolve the baking soda in the milk.  Mix the flour, cream of tartar and salt in a bowl.  In a separate bowl whisk the egg, sugar and vanilla together then add the melted butter.  Add dry ingredients in two batches, alternating with the milk mixture.  Stir until you have a smooth batter.

Pour into a jug for easy pouring.  Heat a little butter in a pan and cook hotcakes in batches over a low heat.  You will know when to flip them because bubbles will form on the surface.

Serve the hotcakes with either caramelised apples, apple & cinnamon compote

Caramelised Apples
50g butter
100g brown sugar
Cream
1-2 apples, peeled and sliced (Granny Smith or Braeburn are perfect)

In a pan melt butter and brown sugar together.  Add in the apples.  Stir often and simmer gently for a few minutes to cook the apples.  Add a glug of cream and cook through before pouring over the hotcakes.

Apple & Cinnamon Compote
Finely chop 2 apples and place in a pot along with 1/2 cup of sultanas, 1 tspn of cinnamon, 1/4 c water and 1/4 cup of sugar.  Cook over a low heat, stiring often until the apples are soft.
