Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: My 4-year-old loves pancakes and would eat them every morning if I let her. One day, instead of throwing out the extra batter, I made up extra pancakes and wrapped them up with plastic wrap, two or four in each wrap.

I put them in the freezer, and the next time she wants pancakes, all I have to do is reach for the freezer and microwave what she wants. You can use a toaster too. It’s fast and easy. - A Reader

My mother did the same for me! This is a great working-parent hint, especially if you make pancakes on Saturday or Sunday.

Go ahead and do an extra batch so you can enjoy them all week long. - Heloise
