Night Before Oatmeal Pancakes

It's almost 11pm and I really want some pancakes. I bought some buttermilk, so am getting the batter ready for tomorrow morning.  My mother got this recipe 30 (some) years ago from someone at the church. Very yummy!


Night Before Oatmeal Pancakes

For quick preparation, soak the oatmeal in the buttermilk overnight at room temperature (covered).

• 1 cup quick cooking oatmeal
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
  

In the morning, combine the remaining ingredients with the oatmeal and buttermilk. Stirring or whisking well.
Make your pancakes using a hot griddle that has been oiled. The batter will be thick, add a little more butter milk if wanted. I usually turn before the as the bubbles start forming.
Makes 18 pancakes, serves 4. Enjoy with syrup, jelly or jam.
