Spicy Apple Pancakes

(6 servings)

  • 2 cups Bisquick or similar baking mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 egg
  • 1 and 1/3 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup grated apple (about 2 medium apples) cider sauce (recipe below) - optional

If you don't have Bisquick, you can make your own version by mixing 2 cups all-purpose flour with 1 Tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 Tablespoons softened butter.

Beat baking mix, cinnamon, egg and milk with rotary beater until smooth. Stir in apple. Grease griddle if necessary. Pour batter by 1/4-cup measuring cupfuls onto hot (medium-high) griddle. Bake until bubbles appear. Turn; bake other side until golden brown. Serve with warm cider sauce (recipe below); if you wish, top with dairy sour cream.
