3 of Our Best Tips for Making the Best Keto Pancakes
If you’re looking to up your keto pancake game, then you’ll definitely want to keep these 3 top tips in mind the next time that you’re making pancakes:
- Use fresh ingredients. While making pancakes from scratch is quite straightforward, it’s still important to make sure that you’re not using old or expired ingredients; especially for the baking flours. Using old flour tends to result in flat, dry pancakes so you’ll want to always make sure you’re using fresh ingredients when making your own pancakes.
- Make sure the dry ingredients are thoroughly combined. When combining the dry ingredients, it’s not a bad idea to use a whisk to make sure that everything is thoroughly mixed. You want to avoid leaving behind any big clumps in your flour mixture because you’ll end up with lumpy pancakes otherwise.
- Nail the cooking time. Perhaps the most important tip of all when making pancakes is to make sure that you’re paying attention when cooking them. Due to their short cooking time, it can be incredibly easy to accidentally overcook your pancakes. Don’t let that happen to you – keep a close eye on your pancakes and be sure to flip them carefully as soon as you notice your batter starting to bubble.
Can I Freeze These Keto Pancakes?
Lemon ricotta pancakes just so happen to freeze very well. I always freeze any pancake leftovers that I have so that I can have ready made breakfasts on hand at all times.
If you’re planning on freezing your ricotta pancakes, you’ll first want to make sure that they have cooled completely after cooking. Then, depending on how many pancakes you’re going to be freezing, I would recommend lining them up on a baking sheet and then placing them in the freezer like that for about 60 minutes.
Once the pancakes are frozen through, you can transfer them all into a single heavy duty freezer-safe bag. Squeeze out any excess air to prevent freezer burn and then you can store your pancakes in the freezer like this for up to 2 months.
