Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
Hark! Fear not for leftovers of these magnificent gluten-free superfood pancakes, as they store rather well for future consumption. As with all pancakes, they are best served fresh and piping hot from the griddle. Nevertheless, should you find yourself desiring additional pancakes after your breakfast has concluded, or seeking to make them in advance, I have several recommendations that shall ensure your pancake experience continues to be nothing short of delightful.
Regarding make-ahead preparation, you may prepare the pancake batter up to a day prior to cooking them. After thoroughly combining all ingredients together, place the batter in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
As for storing the cooked pancakes, allow them to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. You may keep them stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze them for up to three months. To avoid them sticking together while being stored in the freezer, separate each pancake with parchment paper or wax paper.
When reheating your pre-cooked pancakes, I suggest reheating them in a microwave-safe dish covered with damp paper towels. Microwave on high for approximately 30 seconds until heated through. Alternatively, you may use a preheated oven at 350°F (177°C) and place the pancakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Heat until they are warm to your liking.
With these instructions in mind, you need not fret about wasting your leftovers nor missing out on enjoying these glorious delights anytime you desire. Keep these tips close and carry on enjoying gluten-free superfood pancakes whenever something savory is required.
Tips for Perfect Results
To make the perfect gluten-free superfood pancake, it’s all about being prepared and paying attention to details. Here are some tips on how to get it right:
1. Mix wet and dry ingredients separately
Pre-mix your dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls before combining them. This will ensure that the ingredients blend properly, creating a smooth batter that will cook evenly.
2. Use a non-stick pan or griddle
Cooking pancakes on a non-stick surface is key to achieving the perfect texture. Using butter or oil can cause unwanted sticking and won’t produce those crisp edges that we all love.
3. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes
Allowing your batter to rest for a bit will give time for the ingredients to meld together, leading to a better texture and taste.
4. Don’t overmix!
When preparing your pancake batter, it’s important not to overmix. Overmixing can cause your pancakes to be dense, tough, and unappetizing. Combine the ingredients until they are just blended together.
5. Use an ice cream scoop
Using an ice cream scoop is a great way to portion out your pancake batter and keep them all uniform in size. This will help with even cooking times and browning.
6. Cook over medium-low heat
Cooking pancakes over medium-low heat is best. Higher heat may cook the outside too quickly while leaving the center raw.
7. Flip only once
Flipping your pancake too many times can cause it to become tough or fall apart completely! Wait until the edges begin to look dry before doing so and flip once only.
8. Keep pancakes warm in oven
If you want to keep your pancakes warm until serving time, place them on an oven-safe dish in a preheated oven set at 200°F for up to 10 minutes.
By following these tips, you can have stacks of perfect, fluffy gluten-free superfood pancakes ready to be devoured. Happy cooking!
