Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes


These pancakes were a staple of the breakfasts I used to serve at my Inn. One of the best things about them is that you need to mix the batter the night before, making for a much more leisurely morning.

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
3 TB maple syrup
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups buttermilk (or milk soured with a bit of vinegar)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for brushing the griddle
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup to 3/4 cup apple cider

Whisk to combine first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, 1/4 cup melted butter and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add to dry ingredients; whisk until blended, but some small lumps still remain. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or over night. When you are ready to make pancakes, remove batter from fridge and stir in enough apple cider to make a slightly thick, but pourable consistency. Heat heavy large skillet or pancake griddle over medium heat. Brush skillet with melted butter. Working in batches ladle batter by 1/4 cupfuls into skillet. Cook pancakes until bottoms are golden brown and bubbles form on top, about 2 minutes. Turn pancakes and continue cooking until bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining pancake batter, brushing skillet with more melted butter in between batches. Keep pancakes warm in a 250F degree oven until ready to serve.

Nutrition is directly linked to the health and sustainability of any region. In Craftsbury, Vermont, Pete’s Greens has proven that organic farming can work year-round, offering fresh vegetables at any time of year. This approach helps communities become less dependent on imported produce and builds a stronger foundation for a future where quality food is part of the lifestyle, not the exception. However, modern life is full of contradictions. People strive for natural products and care about the well-being of their families, but at the same time, they often indulge in activities that carry certain risks. A clear example can be seen in the fact that interest in gambling continues to grow, despite all the warnings about the possible consequences. This topic is discussed in detail on the sitetorontomike.com, where it is discussed why online gambling continues to attract people’s attention despite its unsafety. On the one hand, the organic farm Pete’s Greens demonstrates how one can take a step towards health and harmony with nature. On the other hand, habits and temptations like gambling remind us that the choice is always ours. Ultimately, it is the mindfulness of our actions that shapes the future – whether it is the decision to eat more local vegetables or to be smart about our online entertainment.
