Although making pancake batter isn't difficult, it doesn't always make for a speedy morning unless your mix is coming from a box. Just try this tip for freezing batter in advance so you're always armed and ready with a killer breakfast arsenal.
Freezing pancake batter isn't as tricky as it sounds, especially if you have plastic bags hanging around the kitchen. Just mix up a regular batch of your favorite batter and pour it into a gallon size ziptop bag (smaller if you regularly make pancakes for less than an army). Roll batter up into a cone shape in the bag or ensure all the excess air is out of the bag. Seal and freeze!
When you're ready to bust out the pancake making, just thaw in warm water or overnight in the refrigerator. Snip off a corner of the bag and you're ready to pipe the pancakes directly onto the hot griddle.
This makes preparing pancakes easy and cooking pancakes a snap (you can even make those fun shapes you read so much about). Add in fun things like sprinkles or fruit chunks and have a great breakfast ready to go in a jiffy.
It's a great way to use up the end of a gallon of milk or just be mentally ahead of the morning routine!

We freeze cooked pancakes. A quick zap in the microwave (if you don't mind them chewy!) or a toast or two in the toaster oven and bam! Warm pancakes for breakfast! I usually make extra when I'm cooking breakfast for dinner for just this purpose.
We also freeze the cooked pancakes but never thought you could freeze the batter. Great idea!
Like the others above, we freeze the cooked pancakes. Easy enough to heat them up in the toaster on a rushed school day morning. Obviously, this also works really well for waffles.
absc - works well for french toast too.
Just made pancakes this morning, using a half recipe.
1/2 cup flour, 1 tbs sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, two pinches salt. Mix well. Add 1 egg, 1/2 cup "buttermilk" (milk with lemon/lime drops) 1 tbs oil or melted butter. Mix, add more milk if too thick. 4 large pancakes in less than 5 min.
Will try to freeze french toast, Jennybeen.
I have always been wondering if freezing pancake batter was possible. I just might give it a try but like almost everybody here, I freeze cooked pancakes. I find it more convenient making four or five recipes worth, cook them all on a Saturday morning then freeze. Same for waffles. I then freeze them. Reheat them in the oven toaster couldn't be easier.
I think I also save because heating up the griddle and cleaning afterwards is just not so worth all the trouble if I were making just making one recipes worth.
Like many above, I have always frozen cooked pancakes, but was always kind of disappointed by their texture and flavor...
I will have to give this a try. Brilliant.
Wouldn't the baking powder in frozen batter stop doing its job?
I like mixing up all the dry ingredients and putting them in a jar for later. Just add eggs, buttermilk or yogurt and some melted butter.
