Scrumptious Oat Hotcakes.

These are really delicious and have been a family tradition for over 25 years.
Very easy to make, ingredients can be doubled or tripled etc. Lots of fibre.

For 6 hotcakes[smallish fluffy pancakes]

1. 3/4 of a cup rolled oats
2. 1 cup of milk [low fat works well]
3. 1/2 cup of flour [ have used wholewheat but you need to add a little more milk if you do]
4. 2 teaspns baking powder
5. 1/2 teaspn salt
6. 2-3 Tblspns sugar [or stevia equivalent,or Splenda etc ]
7. 1 egg
8. 2 Tblspns melted butter.           Pour the milk onto the oats and let it stand for 5 minutes.Sift flour and B.P.onto mix.Add salt. Add sugar or substitute and egg to milk mix.Beat with a fork. Melt the butter in the hotcake frying pan and tip it into mix. Stir till smooth. Add a little more milk if mix too thick. Pour into pan on medium heat [I use two small pans- as these are the right size and makes 2 at a time]. Turn when bubbles appear, they only take another minute. Sandwich with stewed apple,bananas, berries[defrosted and heated- thicken with cornflour] cream, Greek yoghurt, fresh strawberries in season Top with maple or golden syrup to taste. O M Goodness!
