    I don't know why, but I hear it's pancake Tuesday, and it sound pagan.

    Ah, yes. I remember this from my Catholic days. If you really want to protest, go to a Catholic church tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, and get some ashes smeared on your forehead.

    Now I'm feeling a bit hungry for some pancakes.

    Oatmeal Pancakes

    Need
    1 1/ 2 cups uncooked rolled oats
    2 cups milk
    1 cup flour
    2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
    2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt (optional - intensifies flavor)
    3 eggs, lightly beaten
    4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled (butter, not margarine - transfats are bad for you)
    1/4 cup vegetable oil

    Pour oats into a large mixing bowl, pour in the milk and stir well. Set aside until all the milk has been absorbed. In the meantime, combine brown sugar, flour, baking powder and salt by sifting them together onto a plate.

    Add eggs to the oat mixture and mix well with a large spoon. Once mixed, sift in the flour mixture over the top and then stir well. Add the melted butter and stir only long enough to blend. Do not over mix. :)

    Using the vegetable oil, grease your griddle or heavy skillet lightly and heat until a drop of water sputters and evaporates instantly.

    Using a ladle, pour the batter onto the hot pan/griddle to form pancakes approximately 3 1/2 inches in diameter.

    Cook for 2-3 minutes over moderate heat, until small, scattered bubbles are formed and have begun to break the surface of your cakes. This is your cue to flip your pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional minute or until the other side of the pancake is a golden brown.

    Stack your pancakes on a heated plate/platter and repeat the process, oiling the pan and stirring the batter gently between batches until all your pancakes are cooked.

    Best served with butter and maple syrup.

    Makes approximately 18 3 1/2 inch pancakes

    This is a great Harvest Dish.

    Tomorrow's Ash Wednesday? Hmm.

    Last year at this time, I recall the whole board seemed to be eating beignets (however that is spelled)! Haven't heard of the pancake custom, but it sounds tasty.

    I will gladly celebrate any holiday that centers around Carbohydrates!!! BRING 'EM ON!

    I would like maple syrup with mine... and some whipped cream if you have it! Thanks.

    Pancakes are round. So's the sun.

    Sounds like sun worship to me! Maybe I'll write in and see if I can get pancakes forbidden by the Wantpower.

    Hey Bebu,

    I wasn't here last year (on the Forum), but beignets sound good to me any time. Like a cloud filled pillow of carbs just waiting to fill your stomach along with strong chicory cafe au lait. Best served on Decatur St in New Orleans.

    Thanks for the memory
