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.
