Notes
- Test pancake. Whether you use an electric skillet or a cast iron skillet on the stove top, getting the right temperature can be tricky. Cook one pancake and adjust the temperature accordingly. You can then cook several at a time.

- Serve a crowd. Make several pancakes up to 30 minutes ahead of time and keep them warm in a 200°F oven. Do not stack as the steam can cause as the steam can cause soggy pancakes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. See our How to Freeze Pancakes page for how to freeze them for 2-3 months. Reheat pancakes in the microwave or toaster. Place them on a baking sheet, covered with foil in an oven heated to 350°F.
