How to Plan a Pancake Bar
To create an amazing pancake bar, start ahead of time making the pancakes. You can make the pancakes the day of the party, or you can make the pancakes the night before to save you more time to prep for the rest of the party.
Tips On Making Pancakes Ahead of Time
- To make multiple pancakes at once use an electric skillet
- Once pancakes are cooked let cool in single layers
- Place pancakes between sheets of parchment paper and seal in a container
- Can be refrigerated for up to 48 hours and or kept frozen for up to 3 months
- To reheat in the oven, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet, and cover with aluminum foil. Reheat for at least 6 -10 minutes or until heated.
- To reheat in the microwave, place a stack of pancakes on a plate, and cover with a damp paper towel. Reheat in 45 second increments until heated.
Way to go! You’re now ahead of schedule. You no longer have to stand over a hot stove the day of the party while everyone gathers anxiously. Get ready for hot and fresh pancakes!
