Sue’s Tips

Batter can be made 12 hours ahead and kept tightly covered in refrigerator until ready to make pancakes.

Cooked pancakes can be stored in freezer.

Non-gmo and organic versions of canola oil are typically healthier, expeller pressed versions that use no chemical solvents to produce the oil.
