Mix all the ingredients for the pancake batter very well, so that there are no lumps.
Heat a skillet, add a dab of the butter (from the 2 tablespoon butter) and pour a ladle full of pancake batter. Keep the heat on medium. Once small bubbles start appearing on top of the pancakes, flip them over and cook on the other side for a minute or so.
For the compote
Heat the butter in a sauce pan. Add the brown sugar and let it melt. Now add the apples, honey and cardamom. Cook on low heat till the apples are soft. Add the optional water, if it seems to get dry.
Stack the pancakes together and pour the apple compote over it. Enjoy your meal! :)
