Directions for Preparation

While healthy add-ins can boost the nutrition of pancakes, it is best to make each batch with skim milk or milk powder which provides protein, vitamins and minerals essential for good health. Leftover pancakes? No problem! Once cooled, place leftovers in an air-tight plastic baggie, label with the date and toss in the freezer. Re-heat for a minute or two in the microwave or toaster.
