FAQs

Can I make the pancake batter in advance?

How can I keep my pancakes warm while cooking batches?

To keep pancakes warm while cooking additional batches, preheat your oven to the lowest setting and place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Cover them with foil to keep them warm.

Can I freeze leftover pancakes?
