1 1/2 c. quick cooking oatmeal
1/2 c. unsifted flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
3 tbsp. cooking oil
2 c. buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. maple flavoring

Combine oatmeal, flour, salt, sugar and soda. Mix well. Add oil, buttermilk, egg, vanilla and maple flavoring. Mix well, stirring vigorously.

Let batter stand at room temperature 10 to 20 minutes. Drop mixture from spoon onto greased hot griddle. About two soup spoonfuls of batter will make one four inch pancake.

Cook over moderate heat until bubbles form on one side. Turn and cook until other side is golden brown. Serve with your favorite syrup.
