  • Don’t, overmix the batter, mix just until incorporated. (don’t worry if you have a few small lumps.
  • Use a skillet or griddle.
  • Use a measuring scoop to ensure even sized pancake.
  • Always preheat a large skillet or griddle.
  • You can make your own buttermilk, by mixing 2 cups of milk with 2 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice and let sit 10 minutes.
  • Only flip pancakes once, or they can become tough and rubbery. They are ready to flip when you see bubbles starting to pop on the surface.

Yes, place the pancakes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place them in the freezer until frozen. Once they are frozen place them into a large freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months.  Reheat in the microwave until heated through.

 

How to store leftover pancakes

Store the pancakes and blueberry compote in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Store the lemon drizzle in an airtight container on the counter. Heat before serving.
