How to Store Your Buckwheat Pancakes

You can store your leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container or Ziploc bag. Reheat your pancakes in the microwave for about 45 seconds. In order to ensure your leftovers cook through all the way, I recommend heating no more than two pancakes at a time.

Alternatively, you can store your leftovers in the freezer for up to 3 months! To store your pancakes in the freezer you will first want to let them cool completely. Once the buckwheat pancakes have cooled you can store them in a large Ziploc bag. When you are ready to reheat your pancakes, let them thaw on the counter or in the fridge before microwaving a couple at a time for 45 seconds.
