Notes

Smart Shopping Tips:

• Dry buttermilk is a good option for recipes like this. Find it in the canned milk aisle. Store in the refrigerator and it will lasts for several months.
• Quick oats are the most processed of the three oat varieties. They are pre-cooked, dried, and then rolled and pressed slightly thinner than rolled oats. They cook more quickly than steel-cut or rolled oats. Another type of oats may be preferred in some recipes.

Cooking & Serving Tips:

• Rolled oats can be used in place of quick oats, although it requires more cook time and the final dish will have more texture.
• Top pancakes with fruit preserves instead of syrup.
• Leftover pancakes can be frozen. Freeze individually on wax paper and stack in plastic bags when fully frozen. Warm in the microwave when ready to serve for a quick breakfast on busy days.
