Basic pancakes

Yes, you can have your pancakes and eat them too! This recipe is so easy and requires pantry and refrigerator staples you likely keep on hand. Consider these a blank slate for whatever add-ons or add-ins fit your style—fresh berries, spices, syrup, chopped nuts, a swirl of jam, or dollop of creamy yogurt. Get the family involved: Set up a pancake bar so everyone can top their stack however they like. Freeze any leftover pancakes on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Once individually frozen, transfer them to a zippered freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Simply reheat individual frozen pancakes on a microwave-safe plate for about 20 to 30 seconds to serve.
