There are four ways to reheat pancakes: oven, microwave, skillet, and air fryer.
The keys to reheating pancakes successfully relies on time and temperature, Stewart tellsSouthern Living.
“Be gentle with the heat and do not reheat them too long.
Otherwise, your nice fluffy flapjack will become tough, dry, and crispy.
Whats the best way to reheat?
Stewart says you have several options:
Oven
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet and cover loosely with foil.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until pancakes feel warm, but are not dried out.
Microwave
Stack two or three pancakes on a microwave-safe plate.
Cover loosely with a paper towel.
Microwave on medium-high heat for one minute.
Be careful not to heat too long as they will become very rubbery in texture, Stewart cautions.
Skillet
Preheat a dry skillet to medium-high heat.
For a nice crispiness on each side, flip pancakes halfway through your cooking time, Stewart says.
Air Fryer
Preheat air fryer to 320 degrees.
Place pancakes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Heat for 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to overheat as they will become very crispy.
Can You Freeze Pancakes?
Yes, you’re able to freeze pancakes.
Let frozen pancakes thaw for about fifteen minutes before reheating, Stewart says.
Can You Save Leftover Pancake Batter To Use Later?
Technically yes, but with a few cautionary tips from Stewart.
Additionally, sometimes the flour in the batter oxidizes, which can turn the batter an unappetizing gray color.
This is not a health concern, its just not ideal, she says.
