How to Store Irresistible Old Fashioned Pancakes

If you have leftover pancakes, let them cool to room temperature. Then, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Just place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until firm, then transfer them to a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Tips to Make Irresistible Old Fashioned Pancakes

• Make sure not to over-mix the batter; it’s fine if there are a few lumps.
• Use a non-stick skillet for best results, which helps prevent the pancakes from sticking.
• To keep your pancakes warm while cooking, place them on a baking sheet in a low oven (about 200°F).
• Experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination!

Variation

You can easily customize these pancakes by adding ingredients to the batter. Consider including blueberries, sliced bananas, or chopped nuts. If you want to make them chocolatey, feel free to fold in chocolate chips right before cooking.

FAQs

1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour for a healthier option. The pancakes may be a bit denser.

2. Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to make the batter right before cooking. However, you can prepare the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately and mix them when you are ready to cook.

3. What can I use if I don’t have baking powder?
If you don’t have baking powder, you can make a substitute by mixing 1/4 teaspoon baking soda with 1/2 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice for each teaspoon of baking powder needed.

Now you are ready to enjoy your homemade irresistible old fashioned pancakes! Happy cooking!
