When I make a batch of pancakes or French toast, I double the recipe. I use the second batch to cook up, then cool them. I put the pancakes/French toast separately between squares I cut from wax paper, stack them, and store them in a covered tupperware container and put in the freezer. They can then be used a few or more at one time on a busy morning by putting them into the microwave to heat. Even Blueberry or Apple pancakes frozen taste wonderful. These can also be used for a snack or a quick dinner when schedules are tight. It is much less expensive than buying the ready-made in the frozen section of your supermarket!
I froze ours without wax paper or freezing seperately first. We had no problem getting them to come apart. I did use just a little extra butter in the pan when cooking them- maybe that was why?.
oh yes, this is definately a winning idea. I did this for my boys when they were young and I was working, but I wanted them to have a good breakfast quickly. I would cook for the week every sunday and pack all meals into the freezer. I used to store the pancakes in a gal. ziplock freezer bag w/ wax paper in between each. They would grab a couple onto their plates, nuke in the mic to heat and eat. I like the other idea about freezing on a cookie sheet first though. Thanks for sharing guys.
I do this all the time so my 13 year old can have a good breakfast in the morning. I make sure that they are just the right size to pop into the toaster and he can easily heat them up! This idea works great for waffles, too! Yummy!
