I love breakfast food. I would love to go out for breakfast every weekend. Alec does not particularly like breakfast food, and he certainly does not want to get up on weekends to go get some. The result is I usual have some oatmeal standing in the kitchen talking to Lucy in the mornings. Not that there is anything wrong with that–oatmeal is a good healthy way to start your day, but still. This evening I decided to make some pancakes for dinner because Alec was out with some friends (if he is going to have any breakfast food, he usually prefers waffles), and I have been craving pancakes for the past couple of days. After thinking about which type of pancakes, I went with some oatmeal ones. I originally got the recipe from my mom, and I am not sure where she got it. It is a nice recipe because it is quick–it only took about 10 minutes to make dinner–and tasty.
This is probably the simplest and least exciting recipe I have posted, but it is a good standard pancake. I ate mine with a little butter, syrup (the cheap store-bought stuff which I actually prefer to maple syrup for some reason), and blackberry jelly.
1/4 cup flour
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 large egg
1. Combine the first 7 ingredient in medium bowl Stir with whisk.
2. Combine buttermilk, melted butter and egg. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
3. Cook pancakes on greased griddle over medium heat. Makes about 12 pancakes.
P.S. If anyone wants to go out for breakfast some Saturday with me and Lucy–let me know! I am in the mood for some Eggs Benedict!
