Notes
How to Freeze:
These pancakes freeze really well. Sometimes I double or even triple the recipe, and keep extra pancakes stored in the freezer for busy weekday mornings.
Let pancakes cool completely, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag, label, and store for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven until warmed through. If making extra pancakes for a crowd, place the cooked pancakes in a 200ºF oven to keep them warm while cooking the remaining pancakes.
