What to do with leftover pancakes: none of them will dry out or go bad

Pancakes are sometimes baked in bulk in the hope that they can be reheated later or even used as something for dinner.

It also happens that during storage in the refrigerator they become stale, dry, brittle, and it becomes problematic to reheat them, let alone fill them with something tasty.

We will tell you what is the best way to act in such a situation: how to store pancakes and how to reheat them later.

Can it be reheated?

The easiest way to do this is in the microwave, if the pancakes are not dry. You can pour sour cream, add butter and heat in the oven. You can simply fry in a frying pan with vegetable oil - there are many options.

You can reanimate it if you feel sorry to throw away the work of your hands. To do this, fill a metal bowl with warm water, put a plate with pancakes inside, cover everything with a lid and put it in the microwave.

However, it is easier to heat them on one plate with a glass of water for 3 minutes and at 600 W power.

How to Preserve Pancakes

To prevent thin pancakes from drying out, you can put them in a container, cover them with a lid and put them in the refrigerator. But they won't last long like that.

A much more practical option is to freeze them. To do this, fold the leftover pancakes into an envelope, roll them into a tube, into a triangle - whatever you like. Then lay the pieces out on a board or tray, put them in the freezer for a couple of hours, and when the pancakes have set, put them in a bag or container and put them in the freezer for long-term storage.

What to make from frozen pancakes

In essence, this is the same semi-finished product that anyone who is too lazy to cook buys in the store. The pancakes are defrosted in the microwave and then fried in a frying pan with butter.
