Preparation

Step 1

Sift flour with baking powder, salt and sugar into medium bowl.

With rotary beater, beat egg. Add milk and butter; beat until well mixed.

Pour into dry ingredients; beat only until combined--batter will be lumpy.

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 1/4 cup batter for each griddle cake; 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.

*Apple Griddlecakes*: Add 1 cup pared, thinly sliced apple to Griddlecakes batter; cook as above. Serve with Spice Applesauce (recipe below).

*Spicy Applesauce*:
1 can (1 pound) applesauce
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Combine all ingredients in small bowl; blend thoroughly.

Serve warm or cold.
