Scottish Pancakes With Butterscotch Sauce image

I got this recipe many years ago from my aunt. Hearty and very filling, these pancakes are my family's favorite breakfast. The butterscotch sauce is the richest syrup you can imagine. This original recipe is never enough for us, so I usually end up making either double or triple batches! Enjoy!
