TEST KITCHEN TIP:

• If pancakes stick, spray with nonstick cooking spray or brush with oil before heating.
• For leftover pancakes, wrap individually in waxed paper or parchment paper. Place in an airtight container and store in freezer. To reheat pancakes, heat oven to 350°F. Unwrap pancakes and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes or until heated through.
