Makes: ten five-inch diameter pancakes

1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup stone ground blue cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 pinch salt
2 eggs
3/4 cup natural, unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup half and half
1 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, blue cornmeal, baking powder, dark brown sugar, and salt.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a fork and stir in the applesauce, half and half, milk, and melted butter.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a fork, mixing only until combined. There will be lumps in the batter. Do not overmix.
Heat a griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. (312 degrees F is ideal.) When it is hot, drizzle in a little oil. When the oil is hot, pour in ½ c. batter per pancake. Fry the pancakes until bubbles form across the top and the edges look dry. Flip each pancake and fry on the other side. Add a bit more oil to the pan with each batch to fry. Serve hot with butter and maple syrup. (Pure maple syrup is best.)
