We always have these pancakes in our freezer:
  • Let them cool completely at room temperature, then freeze on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Once frozen, you can place in a bag or storage container for longer storage, about 1-2 months.
  • You can heat up in a toaster or microwave until warmed through.
