[equipments]Notes
- In this recipe, it doesn’t matter whether you use old-fashioned oats or quick oats, although it might take a little longer for old-fashioned oats to blend.
- I used vegetable oil to make the pancakes. Ghee (clarified butter) or butter can also be used to make them.
- A medium-thick consistency of the batter makes it pourable. If your batter is thin, you can thicken it with a few tablespoons of flour. If the batter appears thick, add a little water to thin it.
- You can make the pancakes fluffy and light by adding a teaspoon of baking powder or baking soda to the batter.
- The ingredients of this recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to make a large batch.
- It’s best to use a heavy, sturdy pan when making pancakes, such as non-stick or cast iron.
