Scotch Pancakes & Maple Syrup Butterscotch Sauce

To make the pancakes:
Put the flour, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl, then whisk with a balloon whisk to get rid of any lumps.

In a mixing jug, whisk the egg and milk together.

Carefully stir this into the flour.

Mix and beat well until you have a smooth batter.

Grease a non-stick frying pan with a little oil.

Using a dessert spoon, ladle a spoonful of the batter into the pan – with the back of the spoon, make it into a circle and cook until it starts to bubble.

Flip over and cook the other side.

Keep them warm while you cook the rest.

To make the sauce:
Put all the ingredients together in a small saucepan and gently heat to melt the sugar.

Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes.

Allow to cool slightly and thicken, then pour over the pancakes.
