Storing
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5 days up to a week. Add the toppings when ready to serve, so they will not get soggy if there are leftovers and you want to save them.
You can prepare the batter the day before, store it in an airtight container in the fridge, and cook it up in the morning.
How to freeze pancakes
Once the pancakes are completely cold, place them on a baking sheet and freeze them for 10 minutes. After this time, put them in a freezer bag or air-tight container. In this way, you will prevent pancakes from sticking together.
You can make the pancakes ahead of time and freeze. And when you want to enjoy them all you have to do is reheat them.
