Apple Pancakes

 Ingredients:

• 1 1/3 cup complete pancake & waffle mix*
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon table or maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 1-2 tablespoons cooking (vegetable, olive or canola oil)
• ¼ cup raisins (optional)
• applesauce, syrup, or powdered sugar to taste

 Directions:

1. Combine pancake mix, cinnamon, maple or table syrup, brown sugar, applesauce, water, raisins (optional). Stir just until large lumps disappear. Over-stirring will cause tough pancakes.
2.  Pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto a preheated, lightly greased pan, skillet, or electric griddle at 350°F-375°F or over medium heat.
3. When pancakes bubble around edges and towards center, flip it.
4. Pancake is done when bottoms are golden brown.
5. Serve with applesauce, syrup, or a bit of powdered sugar.

Note: 

• You know your pancake pan is hot enough when you sprinkle a splash of water on the surface and it bubbles.
