Extend the Life of Your Pancakes and Waffles
You don’t have to get rid of leftovers, but it's helpful to know how to successfully store and reheat your pancakes and waffles.
Having leftover pancakes and waffles is never a problem. Use these simple tips to store and reheat them with just-cooked results.
Pancakes
How to Store:
Place cooled pancakes in zipper-lock bag, separating them with pieces of waxed paper, parchment paper, or aluminum foil and pressing on bag to eliminate air pockets before sealing. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.
How to Reheat:
Place pancakes on rimmed baking sheet and heat in 325-degree oven (or toaster oven) until warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes if refrigerated and about 6 minutes if frozen.
Waffles
How to Store:
If possible, undercook the waffles slightly, cool completely on a wire rack. Wrap the cooked waffles in plastic wrap and place in the freezer. Freeze for up to 2 weeks.
How to Reheat:
Place the still-frozen waffle in the toaster until crisp and warmed through.
