Swedish Oatmeal Pancakes with Pears and Almonds

[Guest guest]

My GReat Aunt Astrid gave me her recipe to share.

I begged her a lot for this.

 

Swedish Oatmeal Pancakes with Pears and Almonds

 

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

2 cups buttermilk, plus more as needed

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 tbsps. sugar

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

2 eggs, lightly beaten

4 tbsps. butter, melted

oil for cooking

1 pear, cored, peeled and thinly sliced

1/4 cup sliced almonds

 

In a large bowl, combine oats and 2 cups buttermilk.

Soak at least 30 minutes or as long as overnight.

In a medium bowl, stir flour, sugar, baking powder and

baking soda together.

Stir dry ingredients into oat mixture. Stir in eggs

and melted butter. Batter should be thick, but add 1

or 2 tablespoons more buttermilk if it seems too thick

to pour.

Heat a non-stick or well-seasoned griddle over medium

heat. Coat lightly with oil. Pour out batter by 1/4

cup portions. Distribute 3 or 4 slices of pear and

about 1 teaspoon sliced almonds over each pancake.

Cook until browned on bottom, 2 or 3 minutes. Flip and

cook on other side until evenly browned, 2 or 3

minutes

(these need to cook a little longer than regular

pancakes, to allow oats to cook thoroughly). Keep warm

in a low oven. Serve with butter and maple syrupor

some lingonberry jam if you can find any..
