anyone ever have frozen pancakes?

[orleans]

are they microwaved or put in the toaster?

and how are they? (cold in the middle when they're done cooking?)

[Marrah_Goodman]

1. I just microwave them

They aren't t terrible.

[Laffy Kat]

2. That's a very personal question.

[sprinkleeninow]

3. Oh you mean the food kind?

Otherwise they can smart.

[rampartc]

4. they can be microwaved, toasted, fried, or barbequed

if the inside is still cold, put it back into the heat.

5. You can literally mix some powder with some water using a fork for like 20 seconds and pour it

onto a flat, hot surface for a total of like 2 minutes and have fresh pancakes, so I just have to ask ... is that too involved for some reason?

[orleans]

12. my answer is yes--it's way too involved

[csziggy]

16. For three pancakes, yeah, that's too involved

My husband doesn't really like pancakes - he will eat them if I make them - and the one time in the last twenty years I made them one batch made like two dozen. Way too many for a two person household.

It worked out OK. We each had a few, then I froze the rest and could get out the small number I like at a time and nuke them whenever I wanted.

[wnylib]

20. Yup. I do it. Make a batch from scratch

(not a mix), freeze what I don't use, and nuke them later. They're fine.

[csziggy]

23. I would do that again but I'm on another diet

And pancakes really don't fit into my plan.

[wnylib]

24. Understandable. I don't do it often.

I'm not fond enough of pancakes to do it more than once every few months. I try to make them more nutritious by using some oat flour or buckwheat, plus ground up walnuts or pecans. I don't use syrup on them either. Instead, I heat up blueberries (or raspberries) with a little water and a pinch of sugar until they soften. Raspberries turn to mush, like a thin puree or thin jam. I mash the soft blueberries. (The fruit comes fresh from a farmer's market in season. I freeze it.)

Then I pour the fruit sauce over the pancakes and eat a heated, thin slice of ham with the pancakes for protein.

[csziggy]

25. I'll have to try your fruit sauce - that sounds good!

Having just been to the cardiologist, ham is off the table for now - too much salt. And I have several packets of sliced ham in the freezer. Not sure what I will do with that, probably eat it infrequently and in small amounts.

[wnylib]

26. Maybe some turkey breakfast sausage?

[eShirl]

6. They nuke up very nicely.

I like frozen buttermilk waffles hot from the toaster oven, myself. With no syrup or anything. They're like toaster biscuits.

[lillypaddle]

7. I like them

In the microwave for a few seconds, spread butter on top, and then some syrup. Quite good, actually.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I used to have leftover pancakes; I'd put them in the freezer.

This was back before microwave ovens were common! Yeah, I'm old.

They were excellent after I'd thawed them in the toaster.

I would eat them rolled up with a little butter and jam. Omigod. So Good!

9. Edible, but not the best. Yes, you nuke them. As long as you microwave evenly heats them

(and doesn't leave a cold spot in the middle), they are fine in a pinch. Especially if you have a quick craving.

[samnsara]

10. when i make pancakes i actually make extras to freeze and pop n the toaster later

..so toast, unless you want soggy pancakes.

[malthaussen]

11. Either.

Not as good as pancakes made on the spot (so long as the cook is competent), but pretty good nonetheless. I 've never had a problem with them being cold in the middle. If they turn out that way, heat them longer.

13. In a pinch, you can use a steam iron

The Cotton setting works well.

[csziggy]

17. Irons work pretty good as cooking implements

When I was in college, Mom considered one of the essentials to be an iron. Since I didn't wear anything that needed ironing, I used it to cook grilled cheese sandwiches with. Make the sandwich, wrap in foil, Put the iron on one side for a while, turn over, repeat. I don't remember the setting or the timing since that was fifty years ago, but it made a good sandwich.

My other cooking tools were an electric skillet (Goodwill), a toaster oven (Goodwill), and a popcorn popper (Christmas present). My second year of college I made my Thanksgiving dinner with those - Cornish game hen in the toaster over with stuffing, vegetables in the skillet, heated rolls with the iron. No dessert.

[Akoto]

14. Yep, many times. I nuked or toaster ovened them, tastes just as good. n/t

[Generic Brad]

15. My wife microwaves them

She prefers the silver dollar ones since she uses them as a rare snack.

[CTyankee]

18. I love those Belgian style waffles. People in Brussels eat them on the street. All the time!

with powdered sugar.

Here's what I do. I toast them and schmeer on a really good yoghurt (I like coconut best), the I top them with peach slices and pour a little bit of the nectar on top. If I had powdered sugar I'd use it, might be good come to think about it.

Damn, that's good eatin'.

[a kennedy]

19. We love the eggo waffles........so easy just throw em in the toaster......haven't tried the

pancakes. Gonna now.

[orleans]

21. i bought some but haven't had them yet

because i also bought french toast sticks and i tried those first.

thought they were rather run

[UTUSN]

22. 1:15 zapped. 3-pak is really enough, 6 too much. Can be texture/tough. Not that I would know.
