well, i tried one that used both steel cut oats and oat
flour and i personally thought it a bit too dense for
general consumption, altho just one wasn't bad. flavor
was good. needed more sald. guinea pig thought it
needed some sweet/honey in the batter.
i am trying one i found in the florilegium, close to
lindow man's pancake referenece in Life and Death of a
Druid Prince. more of a cooked dough than a batter. and
i have several other batter and fry pancake style recipes
as well.
i think i also had the problem with the beloved guinea pig
expecting something more fritter/pancake like than the
recipe was. when i informed him that 'monks lived off
this kind of stuff' he replied 'no wonder they were so
dour.' 8)
so with a few more recipes to try, i think it is just
hitting on the best of both worlds. a true balancing act
indeed.
