Notes

Storage Information
Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on a warm skillet or in the microwave.

Can they be frozen? Yes! I love to double the recipe and make extra to freeze. Simple cook the pancakes as directed, let cool completely and then flash freeze on a parchment lined baking sheet for 20 minutes. Place in a freezer safe ziploc bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator over night and reheat as directed below or toast up in the toaster or toaster oven.
How do I reheat leftovers? Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave on medium power or on the skillet over low heat.
Can the pancakes be made in advance? No, they really can’t. If the pancake batter sits too long, it won’t rise as well or be as fluffy.
