Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a good whisk before pouring it into the baking dish, as some settling may occur.
What can I use instead of butter?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, you can substitute the butter with coconut oil or a plant-based margarine. This will still provide the necessary fat for a rich flavor.
Can I freeze these pancakes?
Yes, you can freeze the baked pancakes. Once cooled, slice them into portions and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be reheated directly from frozen.
