Freeze pancakes individually before bagging or separate each one with parchment. Let them cool first so condensation does not form ice crystals and fuse the stack.
Cool after cooking
Place cooked pancakes in a single layer on a clean rack so steam escapes. Do not leave perishable foods at room temperature for longer than two hours.
Layer and package
Arrange pancakes on a parchment-lined tray and freeze until firm, then transfer to an airtight freezer bag. Alternatively, put parchment between cooled pancakes. Remove excess air and label the date.
Reheat to serve
Use a toaster for smaller pancakes or warm them on a baking tray in the oven. Make sure the center is heated through; avoid overheating until the edges become brittle. Frozen quality is best when used within a few months.
Frequently asked questions
Can you freeze pancakes with blueberries?
Yes. Cool them completely and freeze in separate layers so the fruit does not glue the pancakes together.
