Ingredients

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats (or use quick cooking oats)
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (can add in more sugar for a sweeter pancake)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted (no substitutes)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • oil (for frying) or butter (for frying)

Method

  • In a large bowl combine the first 6 dry ingredients.
  • In another smaller bowl whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla until well blended; add to the dry ingredients, whisk until blended (there might be some small lumps that still remain).
  • Cover and chill for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight.
  • Heat oil in a skillet.
  • Drop about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet.
  • Cook the pancakes until the bottoms are golden brown and bubbles form on top (about 2 minutes).
  • Turn the pancakes over and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, brushing the skillet with more oil or butter if necessary.
