Cooking - for a new lifestyle (Our Test Kitchen)

 I got this recipe when I took my Foods class in high school. You can always add in fruit, raisins or even chocolate chips. One great thing is that you can freeze them and pop them into a toaster at a later date. I've made them at home but also while I was down at school... It does require two bowls and when you don't have a second bucket, you go and use a corona bucket... use what you have. :) 1 1/2cups large flake oatmeal 2cups milk 1cup all purpose flour 2Tbsp brown sugar 2Tbsp baking powder 1/2tsp salt 3 eggs 1/4cup oil 1. Mix oats and milk in a small bowl. Set aside until milk is almost absorbed. (About 5-8mins) 2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir well to blend. 3. Add eggs and oil to oat mixture. Beat well. 4. Add oat mixture to flour mixture all at once, stirring until smooth. 5. Pour batter by 1/4cupfuls onto preheated, lightly greased griddle. (We found the heat is good at 300F) Cook until bubbles break on surface. Turn
