Oatmeal and Brown Butter Pancakes
"Light and fluffy pancakes with lots of nutty oatmeal flavor. [Photographs: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt] These aren't the easiest oatmeal pancakes, but they're damn good ones. Toasted oats, browned butter, tangy buttermilk, and a texture so light and fluffy it makes clouds nervous about keeping their jobs. Why this recipe works: * Toasting steel-cut oats delivers maximum oat flavor in each bite. * Browned butter adds nuttiness and complexity. * The right balance of dry to wet ingredients and just enough leavening produces pancakes that are hearty but light and fluffy...."
