APPLE CIDER SYRUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to bubble, about 1 minute. Add sugar and molasses; stir until sugar has absorbed molasses and butter, about 3 minutes. The mixture will be very dry. Add 2 cups apple cider. Mix well and bring to a slow boil. Add cinnamon stick and continue to simmer syrup for about 10 minutes.
• Whisk together 1 tablespoon apple cider, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
• Pour cornstarch mixture into syrup in the saucepan, whisking continuously until fully incorporated. Simmer until thickened, with a consistency similar to warm maple syrup, about 5 minutes. The syrup will thicken upon cooling.
• Serve warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

APPLE CIDER SYRUP

Steps:

• In a 1-quart, heat proof, microwavable measuring bowl, mix all of the ingredients. Heat in the microwave on high for about 5 minutes or until the butter is completely melted. Stir and heat until mixture is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes. Let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes until slightly thickened.
• Hints for success: - Be sure to heat the griddle before pouring your pancake batter. - Using a copper bowl to whisk the egg whites will give you more volume. - Do not whisk the whites until they appear dry. They should be stiff, yet moist. - Fold the whites and the squash mixture gently. If you over do it you will deflate the whites and have tougher, flatter pancakes. - The syrup is rich and full of flavor. You can make it the night before, refrigerate it and reheat the next morning. - Use the freshest apple cider you can find. If you use apple juice, try to use one that is not overly sweet.

CREPES WITH CIDER SYRUP

Steps:

• Make crêpe batter:
• Whisk together flour, milk, eggs, shortening, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until smooth (batter will be thick). Chill, covered, 30 minutes.
• Make syrup:
• Heat butter (not melted) in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides. Add cider and sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved, then briskly simmer until thickened and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Cook crêpes:
• Lightly brush an 8-inch well-seasoned crêpe pan or nonstick skillet with some melted butter, then heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.
• Remove skillet from heat and pour in a scant 1/4 cup batter, immediately tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crêpe.) Return skillet to heat and cook crêpe until set and golden brown underneath, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Loosen edge of crêpe with a heatproof rubber spatula, then flip crêpe over carefully with your fingertips and cook until just set, about 15 seconds more. Transfer crêpe to a plate. Make 7 more crêpes in same manner, brushing skillet with more butter before each one and transferring them as cooked to plate and stacking them.
• Reheat syrup over moderate heat. Fold each crêpe into quarters, then, using tongs, dip each briefly in syrup to coat and transfer to a platter. Cover crêpes with foil to keep warm.
• Serve crêpes with remaining syrup on the side.
