Apple Griddlecakes

Apple Griddlecakes

Makes 12 (4-inch) Griddlecakes

1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
 Pared thinly sliced apple (1 cup)

Sift flour with baking powder, salt, and sugar into medium bowl.
With rotary beat, beat egg.  Add milk and butter; beat until well mixed.
Pour into dry ingredients; beat only until combined - batter will be lumpy.
Add 1 cup pared, thinly sliced apple to Griddlecakes batter.
Meanwhile, slowly heat griddle or heavy skillet.  To test temperature, drop a little cold water onto hot griddle; water should roll off in drops.
Use about ¼ cup batter for each griddlecake; cook until bubbles form on surface and edges become dry.  Turn; cook 2 minutes longer, or until nicely browned on underside.  Serve with whipped butter.
Serve with Spicy Applesauce.
