Servings: 6

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon melted butter
1/2 cup milk
1 beaten egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups homemade applesauce

Sift flour, salt and baking powder. Combine butter, milk and egg. Stir into flour. Add vanilla extract and applesauce. Beat well. Spoon batter onto a hot, well greased griddle, allowing enough batter to make 4-inch cakes. When edges are lightly browned, turn and cook on second side.

Serve hot with maple syrup or apple jelly and lots of butter.
