Fleece's post on shroves for dinner inspired me. While looking up a
pancake recipe in a 50-year-old Betty Crock cookbook, I noticed one that
needed 2 cups of buttermilk. Just happens that I have 3 cups of
buttermilk in the fridge. So I made some

Oatmeal Pancakes, 3-8-2011

Recipe By: Old Betty Crocker cookbook, posted to r.f.cooking by Barb
Schaller, 3-8-2011

Yield: 12 four-inch pancakes

1-1/2 cups rolled oats (I inadvertently used 2 cups)
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup sifted all purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten

Mix oats with buttermilk.*

Beat in remaining ingredients and bake on a greased griddle as you would
bake a typical pancake.

These are very good. I used 2 cups of oats and they were fine; no clue
what only 1-1/2 cups would be like.

* I let the oats soak in the buttermilk while I prepared the rest of the
recipe - maybe 5-10 minutes?

Glad that you discovered oatmeal pancakes...we have been enjoying that
delight for more than 40 years in the south. Pour a couple of
tablespoons of maple syrup in the batter along with some real
buttermilk.

That's not an old recipe Barb, nor an old book. My lovely wife still has
that one, her Mom gave it to her when we married. Oh! That was fifty
years ago.
I've never tried it so guess I should, we do like pancakes and the great
grand girls are coming over this weekend.

Snip recipe

Old Book? Come to think of it, I guess it is. I bought mine in the
early 1960's when I worked for an insurance company that among other
bennies had a library and book sales. I now have a whole collection
of BC cookbooks but always go to that one first.

I use a recipe close to this. When I remember, I mix the oatmeal and
buttermilk together the night before and let them sit in the fridge
(using 5-minute oats). Makes them a little more tender. Good either
way, though.

I use oat bran instead of oatmeal in pancakes, and no pre-soaking is
required. I do not include salt or sugar (why would one put salt
in pancakes? bizarre) and I use both baking powder and baking soda.
Other than that, same ingredients as above. (Except that I will
substitute kefir for buttermilk; whichever is on hand, which is usually
kefir.)

I think our kids left fingerprints on every page when we were teaching
them to cook.

Why do you use baking powder Steve? Just curious, as buttermilk reacts
best with baking soda to produce the rapid rise by causing a chemical
reaction that makes bubbles.

Either just baking powder, just baking soda, or some of each works.
I like a little bitterness from the baking powder, but not more
than a certain amount, so I use both.

I also use whole wheat flour (usually, whole wheat pastry flour) and
perhaps that needs more of the rising effect from the baking powder to
not be sorta flat.

I put salt in nearly everything. It's a pretty common ingredient in
most
recipes. My palate is habituated to salt, and I give it what it
wants.

White toast sprinkled with salt. Yum.

(snip rest of recipe)


First time Someone has eaten oatmeal that wasn't in a cookie in prolly
65 years or so. Told him to get used to it. "-) I used regular rolled
oats, not the quick ones.
