Cowtown Kitchen Tip - Pancakes

Hi gang! Here's a Cowtown Kitchen tip for you.

I love making pancakes for breakfast but when you actually decide to do this you plan on spending a lot of time. This makes pancakes feel like an ordeal. If you have extra, nine times out of ten, I bet you end up throwing them away.

In the past I've tried freezing pancakes but they end up freezing together and if you are lucky enough to separate them successfully, they end up getting soggy when you reheat them in the microwave.

So, here's the tip!

Next time you decide to make pancakes, make extra. Any that you don't eat, follow the steps below:

- Let the left over pancakes cool.
- Make stacks of pancakes with a piece of wax paper between each one.
- Put the stacks in a airtight freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible!
- Toss them in the freezer.

Then, when you're ready to eat any number of them...
- Take out the pancakes you want to eat.
- Pop them in the toaster!

You'll have warm pancakes that aren't soggy!! To keep them from getting crunchy, heat them in the toaster until they are just warm. If you want them hotter, zap the stack in the microwave for a minute or less.

It's left over pancake perfection!!

Enjoy!
