Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a toaster, skillet, or microwave until warmed through.
Pancakes can be frozen for up to 2 months; separate layers with parchment paper before freezing.
Reheat frozen pancakes directly in the toaster or microwave for convenience.
