Can a freeze pancake dough?

Question

I did extra mixture from Aunt Jemima, I put it in the fridge but can I freeze it?

Answer 1

I can't back this up with anything found in a book or on the 'net, but your pancake batter has ingredients that allow the batter to rise when cooked. It's my opinion that freezing uncooked batter would comprise this quality and cause your future pancakes from the frozen concoction to be flat and chewy.

Your best bet to get the most out of your batter is to take few extra minutes and cook the pancakes. Once the leftover cakes are cool, you can freeze them. I like to freeze two or three at a time (or whatever your serving size is) with a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap in between them so that they're easier to break apart when you're ready to eat them. Slide the serving into a freezer-safe Ziploc bag and they're ready to keep for a few weeks.

To heat the frozen pancakes up, I usually pop them in the toaster! They're thin enough that one toaster cycle (sometimes two) makes them hot and steamy -- almost an exact match to making them fresh. You can also heat them in the microwave -- stack two or three together on a plate and nuke them for 30 seconds at a time, checking every thirty seconds to ensure they're not overcooked.

Enjoy!

No. Make the pancakes first and then freeze them. Options: freeze the cooked pancakes on a cookie sheet in your freezer first. This will keep them from becoming one clump of frozen pancakes. After they are frozen, place a little square of wax paper between each pancake, creating small stacks. Place each stack in a freezer bag. Then place in your freezer. When you want a quick pancake breakfast remove pancake(s) from freezer bag, place desired amount on a dish covered by a paper towel and reheat in microwave.Start at 45 sec on high. Then in 20 sec increments until warmed through. If you choose, put the syrup on after the the 1st 45 sec. which not only warms the syrup but adds needed moisture to the pancake. A lot less expensive then grocery store frozen. Works well for waffles and french toast too.

Answer 3

You can freeze the extra pancakes but freezing the batter will result in a separated mixture when you thaw it. The batter will make tough pancakes. Cook them off and freeze the pancakes not the batter.

Answer 4

You can freeze the batter and then just thaw it out by taking it down to the fridge at around 24 hrs. before you want to use it.
*** Now what I would do instead is make the pancakes and freeze them. Then you can just reaheat them in the microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel.

Answer 5

Make your pancakes and then freeze the pancakes. This will be a better keeper than trying to unfreeze pancake mixture. I don't think you would get the same results.
