I had a hankering for pancakes this morning, but wanted to
try something different. I was going to have some oatmeal
porridge anyway, so I made that. Instead of eating the
porridge I let it cool a bit and added about a cup of it to
the pancake batter. They were delicious. My wife said they
were even better than buttermilk pancakes.

Dave,

IIRC, that's the "secret" ingredient in IHOP pancakes.

Yum!

My favorite pancake from IHOP has the addition of Cream of Wheat. It makes
a wonderful texture.
