How to Make Biscuits out of Pancake Batter
Freeze leftover pancake batter in an airtight container for up to one week, and thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before use. Basic pancake mix adapts well to making biscuits, and so does the prepared pancake batter. Biscuit batter is thicker than pancake batter, so you'll need to add some of the dry pancake mix to your leftover pancake batter to get the consistency just right. Does this Spark an idea?
