Method
Whisk the eggs, buttermilk and syrup together.
Mix in to the soda flour and sugar. Add the apples and set aside for 15 minutes.
Rub a frying pan or griddle with a little oil and drop spoonfuls of the pancake mixture.
When the surface bubbles, flip over. Repeat with the remaining batter and cool on wire racks or eat immediately.
For the spiced pears, peel, quarter and core the pears and toss in the lemon juice.
Heat the butter and sugar until the sugar starts to melt.
Add the pears and cook for five minutes.
Add the spices and cook for 1 minute.
For the apple butter, cook the apple and sugar until soft. Blend to a smooth puree and cool.
Whisk the butter and apple mixture together and chill.
Spoon some warm pears on to the pancakes and top with a small scoop of the butter.
