Mix-ins: Feel free to fold in your favorite mix-ins, like chocolate chips or blueberries, before pouring the batter onto the skillet. You can also sprinkle them onto the batter right after pouring it onto the skillet.
Keep Warm: Place the cooked pancakes on a lined baking sheet in a warm oven to keep them warm while you cook the rest.
Storage: Store cooled pancakes in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day, in the refrigerator for 3-5 days, or in the freezer for 1 month.
