4 cups rolled oats (not quick cooking oats)
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 quart buttermilk
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla
In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a smaller bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla.
After combining, add liquid ingredients all at once to dry ingredients. Stir with a fork to blend well. Do not over-beat. Let stand 30 to 40 minutes. Batter will thicken (if batter is too thick, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time until batter thins). Cook on prepared hot griddle.
