Mama's Hot Cakes and Apple Syrup

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 4 tsp. baking powder
• 1 egg, unbeaten
• 1 tsp. sugar
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2/3 cup melted butter

Apple Syrup

• 1 cup apple juice
• 2 sticks cinnamon, broken in pieces
• 12 whole cloves
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp. light Karo syrup

Directions

Mix flour, salt, baking powder, egg and sugar; add milk at once. Add butter and cook on hot griddle. This batter will keep a long time in the refrigerator.

For Apple Syrup: Combine juice, cinnamon and cloves; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Strain. This should yield about 3/4 cup juice. Combine with sugar and Karo syrup, bring to a boil; boil briskly 4-6 minutes. Serve warm on pancakes.
