Storage: Let any leftover pancakes cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container or zip-lock bag and storing them in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat, you can microwave them for about 40-60 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel, or heat them in a skillet on the stove until warmed through.
