Old Fashioned Oatmeal Pancakes

This recipe was one Mom attached to the fruit syrups she made and sold at her market in Ocean Park, Washington. It was a seafood market, but for some reason she wanted to sell jams, jellies, syrups and desserts also.

2 cups rolled oats 
   (not the "quick" or instant kind) 
2 cups buttermilk

2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
2 Tb sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon



Blend oats and buttermilk in a bowl; cover and refrigerate overnight.  In the morning beat the eggs and butter together.  Add to oat mixture and stir just to blend.  In another bowl combine the dryingredients; add to oat mixture and stir just until moistened.  If batter is too thick, stir in more buttermilk.  Spoon onto lightly oiled hot griddle.  When first side is browned, gently turn and cook until second side is golden brown.  Serve with plenty of butter and syrup.
