Lightly crisp on the outside and cake-like in the middle, these griddle cakes are a warm and delicious way to start the day. Serve with a little butter, syrup or your favorite jam. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
  • 4 cups buttermilk
  • 1 1/3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • Corn oil for cooking

Directions:

In a bowl, stir together the buttermilk and oats. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight, stirring once or twice.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs slightly and add to the buttermilk mixture.

Sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt and add to the buttermilk mixture.

Lightly grease a heavy fry pan or griddle with corn oil and set over medium heat. Ladle batter onto the pan. Fry the griddle cakes until there are a few bubbles breaking on the top and they are nicely golden underneath. Flip the griddle cakes and cook on the other side.
