Can I make the pancakes ahead of time?

+

You can prepare the pancake batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, for the best texture, cook the pancakes just before serving.

What are some substitutes for buttermilk in pancake batter?

+

Milk with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice can be substituted for buttermilk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Yogurt or sour cream with milk can also be used in equal parts.

Can I freeze the biscuits for later use?

+

Yes, bake your biscuits, let them cool completely, then freeze in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be reheated in the oven to refresh their texture.
