Please use the tag "flatbread" for those.

How to store pancakes

Can I just put a stack in the freezer, with some paper between each? Do I need to make any changes to my ingredients (Milk, Flour, Butter, Sugar, Salt, Eggs) for efficient storage? When I reheat them in the pan, will they regain the same texture?

How do achieve a dry injera top without burning the bottom?

I've tried making injera 3 times so far, the last time went best, but I struggled a bit with actually cooking them. Note that I don't typically make pancakes or crepes either, so my familiarity with their techniques is low. My recipe came from How…

American pancakes: Why not substitute some wheat flour for starch?

please bear with me: I've only eaten pancakes once (not even in the US), so I might not know how real American pancakes taste like. In pancake recipes the mantra seems to be not to over-mix the batter because of unwanted gluten formation. If you…

If I make a big batch of blueberry buttermilk pancakes and freeze them, how long will they stay fresh for before getting freezer-burnt?

I love buttermilk pancakes. Being able to make them on the weekends for breakfast at a later date is just a bonus (like Eggo without the preservatives). I'm just not sure how long they last for in the freezer, as in, if they will ever get…

Eggs in Pancakes, health hazard?

I want to make pancakes. I have a powder mix that needs only milk to be ready. However there is a note on the powder mix's box that says I can add an egg to the mix as well. How safe is that? Are pancakes cooked enough to avoid risk of salmonella?
