Applesauce Pancakes

Another recipe from John Bucy in Idaho:

This is one for applesauce pancakes that I found in a fairly generic bread cookbook that I have had for years. I don’t make pancakes very often and for not very much additional trouble these “from scratch” pancakes are much better than pancake mix out of a bag. These applesauce pancakes are very moist and flavorful.

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
2 beaten eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup applesauce
2 Tbsp. melted butter (or margarine)

In large mixing bowl, stir together all of the dry ingredients. In a smaller bowl, beat together the remaining ingredients. Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir till blended, but still slightly lumpy.

Pour about ¼ C of batter onto hot, slightly greased skillet or griddle for each pancake. Cook like a regular pancake. Top with maple syrup or topping of your choice.
