How to Freeze Pancakes:
Stack cooled pancakes between squares of waxed paper; place in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container. Freeze up to 3 months. Reheat on a baking sheet in a preheated 350 degree F. oven or toaster oven. Avoid using the microwave for re-heating pancakes as they tend to get rubbery.
Pancake variations:
- Buttermilk: Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda to the mix. Use buttermilk in place of milk.
- Yogurt: Add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda to the mix. Replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.
- Whole Grain with Yogurt: Replace the all purpose flour with 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 3/4 cup cornmeal and 3/4 cup wheat germ + 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda. Replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.
