In a small saucepan combine the syrup with the cranberries, simmer the
mixture, covered for 5 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst, and
keep the syrup warm, covered. In a bowl stir together the flour, the sugar,
the baking soda, the salt, the cinnamon, and the walnuts. In a small bowl
stir together the buttermilk, the egg, and 1 tablespoon of the butter, add
the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, and stir the batter until it
is just combined.
Preheat the oven to 200F. Heat a griddle over moderate heat until it is hot
enough to make drops of water scatter over its surface and brush it with
the additional butter. Spoon 1/4-cup measures of the batter onto the
griddle and cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until
they are golden. Transfer the pancakes as they are cooked to a heatproof
plate and keep them warm in the oven. Serve the pancakes with the syrup.
Makes about six 4-inch pancakes, serving 2.
