How to Make
-
Step 1: In a large bowl, stir the oats with the buttermilk. Add the grated apple, lemon zest, shortening, egg and nutmeg.

Step 3: Set a nonstick griddle over moderate heat. Lightly butter the griddle. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake and use an offset spatula to spread each one into 4-inch round. Cook the pancakes until the bottoms are golden and the tops are set, 2 - 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden, about 1 minute longer. Transfer the pancakes to plates and serve with maple syrup.
