Okay, so I happen to LOVE my pancake recipe. And it’s not a big secret. In fact, you’ve probably seen it. It’s right there on the back of the Bisquik box. :)
- 2 Cups Bisquik
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extra
It makes really good pancakes. Pancakes are a big hit at my house. Hubs has always loved pancakes. “I want pancakes” is an inside joke with us….dating back to our honeymoon, I think. I cut Bug’s pancakes with my train cookie cutter. So Bug likes “train cakes” as he calls them.
As much as homemade (well, semi-homemade, I suppose – since I am using Bisquik!) are such a special treat around here and so loved I never thought, until recently, that I could freeze my pancakes. I was heating up the last two frozen Aunt Jemima pancakes the other morning thinking, “Uh, oh. I’m not going to have any tomorrow morning for Bug’s “train cakes”. And suddenly, a light bulb went off in my head. The people that make those frozen pancakes, make them just like I do and then freeze them. So why can’t I freeze mine??? So that’s what I did. I made a big batch that night and froze them. I popped some in the toaster the next morning and they were great!
Here are tips for freezing your pancakes (you can do waffles too!):
- remove from skillet/griddle/waffle iron and lay out on plates or paper towels
- let cool completely
- place in freezer bag (you can put foil or wax paper between them to keep them from sticking but I didn’t have any problems with them sticking) and squeeze out extra air
- pop in freezer
- When you are ready to eat, just toast and enjoy!
