Instructions

Melt butter and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together milk and applesauce.
Add self rising flour and sugar and stir.
Continue stirring while drizzling in melted butter.
Mix until just combined. Let batter rest for 15 minutes.
Heat a nonstick over medium-low heat. Add butter or oil if desired. Portion about ¼ cup batter into the pan. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set (2-3 minutes).
Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter. Place cooked pancakes in a covered pancake warmer, or on a plate covered with aluminum foil in a 200°F oven to keep them warm while you finish cooking the rest. Stack them up, add your favorite toppings (e.g., syrup, butter, fruit), and enjoy!

Notes

Make your own self rising flour: Substitute each cup of self rising flour with one cup of all-purpose flour and add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt. For this recipe that would be 2 cups of all purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt. If you don't have kosher salt use only ¼ teaspoon.

Storage and reheating: Store cooked pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Reheat in the toaster, oven, or microwave.
