question about pancakes!
So, I have this Bisquick Heart Smart baking mix...I love pancakes..in moderation of course..with fresh berries..Would they be ok if I made a big batch, froze them, and then just popped a couple in the microwave when I was ready to eat them? I'm not really in the mood for making a fresh batch whenever I want them, and I figure it would be a much healthier version than buying actual frozen pancakes.
Yes! I do this with baked goods all the time. Try it in the toaster oven too, sometimes the microwave can make things come out a little flabby.
even a straight toaster works. I have only done them from the fridge, but it has always worked well.
What a great idea! I want to try this out as well. yummm
I do it all the time too... make a full batch of pancakes on the weekend, eat a few fresh ones then freeze the rest in sets of 2. It's so nice on a weekday morning!
I do this often with waffles! (nothing worse than cleaning a waffle maker) but pancakes work this way too. And in the summer fresh fruit on a waffle with a cup of vanilla coffee is just a divine start to a work day...
I second the toaster oven! It will crisp up the pancakes a little - but makes them seem more "fresh from the grill" in my mind.
If you do want to microwave them... I recommend wrapping them in papertowels pre-zap to absorb some of the moisture. Especially important between the pancake and the plate - you don't want a soggy plate!
Thanks everyone! I made a big batch last night and then tried the toaster oven idea this morning! It works alot better than the microwave..the microwave made them a LITTLE soggy and the toaster oven worked great!
