I am also reusing the bagel bag instead of throwing it away. This will not work if you put the pancakes on the cookie sheet while they are warm (they will freeze to the sheet). It will also not work if you make gigantic pancakes that are bigger than a bagel bag, but I am sure you already figured that one out. If you are looking for a pancake recipe, try my delicious and whole wheat oatmeal pancakes.
I freeze pancakes & waffles, using the same method (only I reuse a Ziploc bag over & over). It really makes mornings a lot easier! I never thought to use soft white for pancakes, I’ll have to try that. I have some more kalmut, have you used that before. Going to try this recipe next week, thanks for sharing! I love doing this - the bagel bag is genius!
🙂 Thanks for the tip! I take it you have a grain mill - that’s been on my “wish list” for a very LONG time! I do the same thing (minus the bagel bag-great idea!). It is so nice to pull them out on a busy morning! I am going to have to try your recipe! I have been trying many of yours lately and they are ALL GREAT! What a great idea! And it seems everyone’s secret to great pancakes is buttermilk. Need to try that!
I love this…I am trying to go all-natural instead of buying prepackaged foods and this is a great idea instead of frozen store-bought pancakes. I’m going to make up a big batch and freeze them. How do you reheat them, What a great idea! How do you cook them from frozen, Do you just pop the in the toaster or oven to eat them another day,
We reheat in the toaster oven or microwave. How long in the microwave for say, 3 pancakes, One other idea I use for freezing waffles. I put them on a cooling rack right when they are finished cooking. They cool faster and they don’t sweat and get soggy on the bottom. That’s a good idea! I’m glad you have this post up! I’ve been wanting to find a method of freezing pancakes but haven’t seen anything until this morning!
We may even give the pancake recipe a try! I never thought of reusing the bagel bag & just reuse a freezer bag. I do this too (except I use old bread bags not bagel bags). A little bit of prep goes a long way! We also freeze waffles or pancakes so that we can have a quick breakfast.
Much cheaper than buying them pre-made. I just put mine in a freezer bag but I love your idea! Loved the pictures of Cora, and also your latest installment of your story! I have recently started freezing waffles, but I love this idea, and so compact for the freezer - thanks! We use wax paper between our waffles.
I usually do not have enough room in the freezer to flash freeze waffles. Your pancakes look cute in the bag, all lined up. I really should do this. I used to cook fresh pancakes in the morning when I had 2 kids. Now I have six and I don’t generally feel like standing there for a half hour flipping pancakes in the morning. Thanks for the idea. That’s a great tip! I’m always sticking extras in the fridge, thinking someone will eat them within a day and then they turn into rubbery frisbees.
If I just froze them, they’d be edible when one of my dc whines for me to make pancakes when I’m not in the mood to do so! I love the bagel bag idea & freezing them separately first. I just put 4 in a bag. So if I’m only making pancakes for the boys, I pull out 1 bag (I have 2 boys). I’m going to try your idea next time.
