She adds: "When you’re ready to cook them, remove as many as you’d like and cook normally, but just be sure to give them a little bit of extra time. So good!”

Method:
1. Start by making your preferred pancake batter with a basic recipe that typically includes flour, eggs, milk, and sugar.
2. Mix all the ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
3. Use an ice cube tray and spoon the batter into the individual compartments of the ice cube tray, filling each one about 2/3 full.
4. Let it freeze completely, which usually takes a few hours or overnight.
5. Once the batter is frozen solid, carefully remove the ice cube tray from the freezer. Gently push on the bottom of each compartment to pop out the pancake batter ice cubes. As it melts on the pan, you’ll have the perfect size to cook and enjoy!
