Serving Suggestions and Storage
For busy weekdays, serve as is, but if you have a couple of minutes, I have found that by adding a few fresh blueberries, they really level up the pancakes.
Serve with fresh fruit or maple syrup.
Store leftover pancakes in the freezer in an airtight container or in freezer bags.
