Reese’s Syrup and Double Chocolate Pancakes
I promise I’m not crazy. Let’s just get that out of the way before we talk about this recipe. I know it’s not healthy. I know that kids shouldn’t be taught to eat like this, but I also know that once a year you should do something totally awesome and blow everyone’s minds with breakfast. I mean, who could say no to reese’s syrup over double chocolate pancakes?! If it makes you feel better you can always serve this Reese’s Syrup over multigrain chocolate pancakes. Then it’s at least a little healthier. But I mean, that’s totally up to you.
Can Pancake Batter Be Made Ahead?
Pancake and waffle batter can be made the night before.
Because baking powder may lose some of its potency overnight, you may want to add a little more.
Let the batter warm up a little, give it a stir, and cook your pancakes.
Why Are Pancakes Flat?
Not enough soda will result in a blonde, flat pancake.
Too much will result in a tall, dark, soapy-tasting pancake.
Also, if you over-mix, the gluten will develop from the flour in your batter, making your pancakes chewy instead of fluffy.
Stir just until the flour is incorporated.
You will still have some lumps of flour in your batter.
Can You Reheat Pancakes?
There are several ways to reheat pancakes.
You can pop them in the toaster.
They can be reheated in the oven by placing them on a baking sheet and covering them with foil.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
You can also microwave pancakes for 15-20 seconds at high setting.

Have you ever tried making the batter the night before? I’m trying to avoid too much kitchen time on christmas morning!

Alicia, I have and it didn’t hold up very well, but maybe it was just one bad time for me. I’ve just been to scared to try again. The syrup I’ve made ahead and reheated, and then had the flour in one bowl with saran wrap, and the wet ingredients in a bowl ready to be whisked in the fridge to save time.

You totally read my mind. I was just searching chocolate peanut butter pancakes (the kids are getting bored with my usual ones). This would be a great surprise for them….I just don’t know if I could handle their sugar high afterward. 🙂
Sweet Basil
