Drop a large spoonful of batter in fry pan to make pancakes, more batter will be a larger pancake, a 1/3 cup measuring cup works pretty good to get them all the same size. Let them cook about 3-5 minutes until browned then flip to brown the other side another 3-5 minutes. Top with apple butter first, then the whipped cream, and syrup.
