Ingredients:  

1 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced  

1/4 cup sugar 

1/4 cup water  

2 1/4 cups self-raising flour  

1/4 tsp. iodized salt  

1 cup buttermilk  

1 medium egg, lightly beaten  

1/2 cup applesauce  

1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Directions: 

1. Place the strawberries, raw sugar, and water in a small saucepan, bring to the boil. 

Reduce heat and simmer until thick, stirring occasionally. Set aside.  

2. Combine the flour and salt a large bowl. Make a well in the center. 

Add the milk, egg, and applesauce. Using a wooden spoon, stir until just combined (do not over mix). 

3. Lightly spray a medium sized non-stick frying pan with oil spray. Place over medium heat.  

4. Pour ¼ cup of pancake mixture into the pan and swirl to form round cakes.

Turn to cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden and cooked through. 

Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, spraying pan with oil if necessary. 

5. Divide pancakes onto 4 individual plates. Drizzle with the prepared strawberry sauce and serve.
