Apple Rice Griddle Cakes

These cinnamon-spiced applesauce and rice-enriched griddle cakes are great with or without syrup.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 cups Bisquick® (biscuit baking mix)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups cooked rice
3/4 cup applesauce
Syrup and butter (optional)

Cooking Directions:

1. Combine Bisquick, cinnamon, milk, and eggs in large bowl; beat only until smooth. Stir in rice and applesauce.
2. Pour batter onto hot greased griddle, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top and underside is nicely browned. Turn and brown other side. Turn only once. Serve with butter and syrup; if desired.
