GREEN TIP

Of the billions of tons of food wasted annually, 50% of food waste happens at home. Reduce your contribution to food waste by properly storing, reheating, and consuming leftovers. Learn how to store and reheat these pancakes in the link below!

Add butter to your griddle or frying pan and allow it to heat up on medium-high until the butter is melted.

STEP FOUR

Pour batter into your molds or freeform circles onto the pan and cook over medium heat until little air pockets form.

STEP FIVE

When you see the little air pockets on your pancakes, it’s time to flip them! Add butter as needed to make sure there is always enough butter in your pan to fry the pancakes and to avoid them sticking.

STEP SIX

Serve warm with maple syrup. Enjoy!

STEP SEVEN

For thicker, perfectly round pancakes, use pancake molds! Link to the ones I use below.
