How to Freeze Pancakes (With Recipe)

If you love pancakes but want to enjoy them without the fuss of making them from scratch every time, freezing them is an excellent solution. Whether you prefer classic buttermilk pancakes or something a bit more adventurous, the process is simple and effective.

Basic Pancake Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 200g plain flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• 300ml milk
• 1 large egg
• 50g melted butter, plus extra for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined—don’t worry if there are a few lumps; over-mixing will make your pancakes tough.
4. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small knob of butter.
5. Once the pan is hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as necessary.

Freezing Your Pancakes:

1. Allow the pancakes to cool completely on a wire rack after cooking.
2. Stack them in groups of four or five, placing a piece of parchment paper between each pancake to prevent sticking.
3. Wrap the stack tightly in cling film or aluminium foil, or place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
4. Label with the date and type of pancake, then pop them into the freezer.

To Reheat:

When you're ready to enjoy your pancakes, simply remove the desired number from the freezer. You can reheat them in a toaster, microwave, or briefly on the stovetop until heated through. Serve with your favourite toppings, and enjoy a delicious pancake breakfast any day of the week!
