How To Freeze Pancakes:

Cook the pancakes, and let them cool. When the pancakes are cool, place them on a tray or cookie sheet in a single layer, and put them in the freezer for 30 minutes. Once they are frozen place them in a freezer bag. This way they won’t stick together. If you do find that the pancakes still stick together put a piece of wax paper or parchment paper between the pancakes.

When to flip pancake: You will know the pancake is ready to flip when the bubbles turn into holes, as seen in the picture above.

Quick Tip: Don‘t over mix the batter. Small lumps are ok. Over mixing your batter will make the pancakes flat and chewy. We want them light and fluffy. In this recipe the dry and wet ingredients are mixed in separate bowls then combined. Once combined stir until the wet and dry ingredients are just incorporated.
