5. In a skillet with a lid. Melt butter over medium-low heat. Put the prepared ring molds in the middle of the skillet and fill each with 1/2 cup of batter each ring mold should be about halfway full. Pour in 3 tablespoons of water then cover the pan with the lid and cook until the batter rises to the tops of the ring molds and is golden on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Release the bottom of the pancakes with a spatula and flip the ring molds carefully. Cover and cook until golden on the other side, about 5 minutes more. Demold and place on a plate. Serve with butter and fresh fruit and fruit compote. Do not let them sit to long because they will deflate.
Simple Compote: Mix all ingredients in a small sauce pan over low heat until turns in to a simple fruit syrup.
