From Scratch Bisquick and Oatmeal Pancakes for Two

For the Bisquick Mix Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add cold cubed butter. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

For the Oatmeal In a small bowl, combine oats and boiling water. Let it stand for 5 minutes, or until water is fully absorbed and oats are soft.

For the Pancake Batter In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup of the homemade Bisquick mix and the prepared oatmeal. Add the egg, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

4.Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

5.Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

6.Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings.
