Intriguing Recipe

I found this on a livejournal recipe community last night and I'm dying to try them, because its a rather off the wall kinda thing. Oatmeal Latkes!

1c leftover oatmeal
1/4-1/3 c flour
brown sugar to taste
1 egg
milk to thin it to a thick batter consistency

melt a thick pat of butter in a pan on med-high heat, drop batter by big spoonfuls into the butter, let fry until crisp and brown, flip, repeat, remove, serve.

Strange recipe? Perhaps? But I've learned sometimes the things that seem the strangest taste the best. So this is worth the try.
