Lancaster County Oatmeal Pancakes Recipes

If you promise pancakes to an 8-year-old, these are decidedly not the pancakes they will have in mind, though this doesn't mean they aren't for the rest of us. Think of them rather like the oatcakes you might have with cheese, only in pancake form; as with regular fluffy pancakes, however, it is what you eat with them that creates the magic. Here, I've made a honey and raspberry syrup, and the mixture of the soft, oaty cakes, the honey and the raspberries has a decidedly Scottish flavor. This leads me to think this could be good with a wee nip of whisky somewhere in the mix and, in deference to the great Hibernian dessert, Cranachan, a dollop of whipped cream. The lack of flour means that they are gluten-free (though because of cross-contamination where they are made, you should look for porridge oats that say as much on the packet, if this is crucial). And while you can use regular full-fat milk, I much prefer oat milk, which richly enhances their flavor, as well as making them dairy-free for those for whom that is a concern. Though in which case, banish all thought of the whipped cream now.
