Pancakes on Fat Tuesday

I followed Mystie’s advice and got a griddle that covers two burners on the stove.  I already made a mess of grilled ham & cheese sandwiches for lunch yesterday.  Today I’ll be flipping pancakes.

We’ll be having our favorite pumpkin pancakes from Sunset Magazine and oatmeal pancakes from Laurel’s Kitchen.  Here’s the simple recipe:

1. Mix together a cup of oats and a cup of milk.  Let stand 10 minutes.
2. Then mix in 2 T oil and 2 eggs.
3. Sift a half cup of whole wheat flour with 1 t baking powder, a quarter t salt, and 2 T brown sugar.
4. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet and fry on the above mentioned really big griddle.

We’ll enjoy these sweeties with homemade syrup, eggs + sausage.
