Brown Sugar Oatmeal Pancakes
1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons quick oats
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
In bowl combine the oats, flours, baking soda, salt and sugar. In another small bowl beat the egg, oil and buttermilk. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Makes about 10 medium pancakes.
Pour by 1/3 cup full onto hot griddle.
Apple pancake variation: for apple pancakes, slice and peel a granny smith (my apple peeler-corer-slicer gives whole circle slices about 1/4 inch thick.) Before pouring the pancake batter on the greased griddle, put a slice of apple on the griddle for about a minute (it will be just starting to soften.) Turn the apple slice over, then pour your 1/3 cup batter over the apple. Continue to cook as you would any pancake. Serve with applesauce or cinnamon syrup (see previous post.)
Fried Potatoes
Poke 3-4 medium white or red potatoes several times with a fork. Place on plate and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high 3 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and cool slightly (until you can handle them.) Slice into bite-sized pieces, about 1/4-inch thick. Heat light olive oil (I love Montolivo, Extra Virgin with Light Taste--I get it at Costco) in skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmery. (You need enough oil to cover the bottom of your pan--you can and add more later if needed.) Add potatoes in single layer. Cook a few minutes, and then stir, turning over. Continue to turn and stir occasionally until they get crispy and golden. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with ketchup if desired.
Serve with bacon and/or fried eggs.
