Ingredients

• 2 c. long-cooking oats, uncooked
• 2 c. plus 1/4 c. buttermilk, divided
• 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/2 c. whole-wheat flour
• 2 t. sugar

• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 T. butter, melted and cooled

Preparation

Step 1

Combine oats and 2 cups buttermilk in a bowl; cover and refrigerate overnight. To prepare pancakes, sift together flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat together eggs and butter. Stir into oat mixture. Add flour mixture, stirring well. If batter is too thick, stir in 2 to 4 tablespoons remaining buttermilk. Pour batter by heaping tablespoonfuls onto a well-greased hot griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface; turn and continue cooking until golden. Garnish as desired. Makes 2 dozen.
