How can I keep my homemade McDonald ‘s-style pancakes warm for brunch?
Making fluffy pancakes like McDonald’s is fantastic, but keeping them warm without drying out can be tricky. Here’s how to do it with ease:
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). This gentle heat keeps pancakes warm without overcooking.
- Spread pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet. If stacking due to space, separate them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cover loosely with aluminum foil. It traps moisture but leaves some air vents to prevent sogginess.
- Serve within 30-60 minutes for the best taste and texture.
Can I freeze homemade McDonald ‘s-style pancakes for later?
Only want to eat some of them now? No problem! Freeze them for later:
- Cool pancakes completely. No condensation, no sogginess when reheating!
- Separate pancakes with parchment paper. Makes grabbing one at a time a breeze.
- Pack tightly in a freezer bag or airtight container. Squeeze out air to avoid freezer burn.
- Label and freeze! They’ll stay yummy for up to 3 months.
