Oatmeal Pancakes

For some reason I feel like the recipe I am making is healthier if it has oatmeal in it.  Not sure why, but here are some tasty pancakes with oatmeal.

Hot off the griddle.  Just a little tip for cutting pancakes, sandwiches, ect....use a pizza cutter. 

 

OATMEAL PANCAKES

• 1 c. of all-purpose flour
• 1 c. of quick cooking oats
• 1-1/2 c. buttermilk
• 1/2 c. milk
• 2 T. sugar
• 4 T. butter, softened or melted
• 2 t. baking powder
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1 t. salt
• 2 eggs
  

Beat all ingredients in a medium bowl with a whisk until smooth. Grease a heated griddle, if necessary, with shortening, using a pastry brush. A cast iron pan really makes the best pancakes, but I often use my electric griddle to make more at one time to keep the animals at bay. To see if griddle is hot enough, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles skitter around, heat is just right. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until pancakes are puffed and dry around edges. Turn and cook other sides until golden brown. Serve with applesauce or syrup. Makes 15 pancakes.
