I can't remember the last time I bought a box of pancake mix at the grocery store. Before I started this blog, I made pancakes from scratch occasionally, but not often. I probably thought it was more convenient to use a mix, but I know it really doesn't take that much longer to do them from scratch. AND there is no comparison when you consider the taste.
Probably my favorite scratch recipe is one I have shared here with you, Oatmeal Pancakes. We really like them. I also like the Carrot Cake Pancakes and plan to make them now that fall isn't far away. (Why do I feel like I have to wait for fall to make Carrot Cake Pancakes? I don't know.)
When we were visiting with our son and his family in CO recently, I found some recipes I wanted to try in some of dil Sara's cookbooks. I have really enjoyed the results from the recipes I have made so far. This recipe for Autumn Pancakes (Gooseberry Patch Fall, Family & Friends contributed by Kathy Grashoff of Fort Wayne, IN) didn't disappoint me either.
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats, uncooked
1-1/2 cup boiling water
1-1/2 cup all-purpose flour (I used 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour and 3/4 cup all-purpose flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar (I used 3 tablespoons stevia)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1 apple, cored, peeled, and coarsely chopped (I grated the apple to equal about 1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons margarine, melted
Place oats in a small bowl. Pour boiling water over the oats and let stand 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the flour(s), baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Add the oat mixture, egg, milk, apple, nuts, and melted butter; mix well.
(almost forgot the margarine.)
Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls into a lightly greased skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes.
Turn pancakes over
and cook until golden, about one minute longer.
Serve with syrup or powdered sugar.
Serves 6.

Oohhhhh that looks like a great idea...something totally different!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely going to make these as soon as it cools off!
I need to check into the "Gooseberry Patch" cookbooks...I hear really great things about them!
ReplyDeleteI Have to admit I have only bought one Sandy that I couldn't find a recipe in it I wanted to try. My friend Janice talked me into buying it at an estate sale. I gave it to her. The recipes are contributed by different people. Love these pancakes.
