Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes

So I made our favorite Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes this morning. DH eats them with honey, I eat then with applesauce, DD eats them plain (and LOVES them).




2 cups buttermilk (I was out so I used vinegar and reg. milk, about 1 T vinegar for each cup milk ~ worked fine)
2 cups old fashioned oats
2 eggs
1/4 c butter, melted and cooled
1/2 c flour (I use whole wheat)
2 T sugar
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1/2 t ground cinnamon

1/4 t salt



soak oats in milk in th fridge over night

mix dry in a small bowl and save for the morning (makes it go faster!! in the am)

mix eggs/butter into oats/milk and then add dry. stir until all is moist. might bubble a little (good!)

heat buttered skillet to med/high and pour on in 1/4 c scoups.

turn when firm. be careful not to brown too dark like me (but they still taste good!)

enjoy!

Buttermilk Pancakes

I found this buttermilk pancake recipe on the back of my christmas pancake molds and it's the best I've tasted so far. BTW, I keep powdered buttermilk in the fridge and use that in recipes. Keeps forever and no leftover buttermilk to worry about spoiling.




**These freeze really well. I freeze them on a rack in the freezer, when firm I put in freezer bag. To defrost, I put them in the oven on 250 for about 15-20 minutes.



Buttermilk Pancakes:
2 eggs
2 cups flour
3 T sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2.5 cups buttermilk
4 T butter, melted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Nonstick cooking spray, or oil



In a bowl using a whisk, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix just until batter is smooth. Do not overbeat.


Heat griddle over medium until a few drops of water flicked onto the surgace skitter across it. Cook 'em!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have tried this recipe and we LOVE it! A few things I have learned:

1. Do NOT double this recipe unless you want to stand at your stove cooking pancakes for a couple of hours.
2. If you don't have space in your freezer to freeze the pancakes on racks, I put wax paper between them, put them in a freezer bag, and we are good to go!
3. To defrost mine, I just pop them in the toaster for two cycles. Works perfectly.
