4  medium peaches, nectarines, or apples
         2  cups all-purpose flour
    1/4  cup sugar
         2  teaspoons baking soda
         3  eggs
1-3/4  cups milk
         2  tablespoons butter, melted
         1  tablespoon malt vinegar
Butter
Maple Syrup

1.  Slice fruit crosswise about 1/4 inch thick, cutting around pit to form rings.  For apples, core and slice crosswise; set aside.  In a bowl combine flour, sugar, and baking soda.  Make well in center of flour mixture; set aside.
2.  In another bowl whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vinegar.  Add egg mixture to flour mixture.  Stir until moistened.
3.  Add about 1 teaspoon butter to a hot, large nonstick skillet or griddle.  Place a peach slice on hot skillet.  Pour or spread a scant 1/4 cup batter over peach slice.  Cook over medium heat about 2 minutes on each side until pancakes are golden brown, turning when pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry.  Repeat with remaining batter and peach slices; add butter to skillet as needed.  Serve warm with maple syrup.  Makes 8 servings.
