    pancakes freeze well so you could have made the extras and then have them later.

    Talking of resting, does anyone know what that actually does? What is actually going on when its resting? And is it the same as dough. If I add ingredients to my breadmaker and set it running, it rests for the first hour or so... whats that all about, nothing is happening.

    I think with the breadmaker, it's getting all the ingredients to the same temperature. Don't know about batter, although I always leave mine to rest as my mum used to do.

    Hi,

    I made pancake mix from scratch yesterday and left it in the fridge covered in clingfilm for OH's pudding. He didn't eat it, so I'm wondering if it will still be ok to use (in toad and the hole).

    It looks like it's separated though? It has been in the fridge for about 24 hours.

    I was working until late on Tuesday, so I made my batter first thing in the moning. When I got home it had separated and looked horrible :eek: Just gave it a good stir and it was delicious.

    I'd certainly use it.

    With a batter, resting allows the water and flour to mix. This allows the flour grains to swell, so making a thicker mixture, which makes better pancakes.
