Shopping List
The following ingredients will be needed to make this pumpkin pancake recipe. You will need complete pancake mix, water, canned pumpkin, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice.
How Long Does It Take To Make?
It takes about 6 minutes per pancake to cook.
How To Store Pancakes?
Store the pancakes in a ziplock bag or airtight container. Then place them in the refrigerator where they should last for 2-3 days.
How to Store Pancake Batter?
If you are not going to use the pancake batter right away, you can store it to use later. After you have made your batter, you will need to cover it tightly with plastic wrap.
Alternatively, you can transfer the batter to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours. Keep in mind that storing the pancake batter in the fridge can result in the pancake mix being less fluffy.
Can You Freeze Pancakes?
Yes, you can freeze pancakes. After cooking, you will want to cool the pancakes before freezing. Once cooled down, you can then transfer the pancakes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
After they are frozen, you can then transfer them from the baking sheet to freezer bags. If you don’t have room for a baking sheet, you can freeze the pancakes by placing parchment paper in between them, and then you can place them in the freezer-safe bags.
Then put them in the freezer and freeze that way. The frozen pancakes can last in the freezer for 2-3 months.
How to reheat?
Reheat the pancakes from the fridge in the microwave for 20 seconds. To reheat frozen pancakes, reheat in the oven or toaster.
How Do I Know When Pancakes Are Done Cooking?
After you add the pancake batter to the frying pan, you will notice bubbles forming.
You need to wait until the bubbles pop, and you see them forming holes that stay open. Then you will know that the pancakes are ready to flip over.
