Decrease heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. MEANWHILE, PREPARE PANCAKES: Melt butter; set aside to cool. Measure vinegar into liquid measuring cup and add enough milk to make 1 cup. In large bowl, whisk milk and eggs until thoroughly combined. Add cooled butter; mix well.
