Chef's notes
If you don’t have a griddle, you can cook the pancakes on the stove in a skillet.
To keep pancakes warm, put pancakes on a large baking sheet in a single layer and put in a 200 °F until ready to eat.
Pancakes will keep wrapped in the fridge for up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap cooled pancakes with plastic wrap and put in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 1 month.
