Notes

Storage & Reheat

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Freezer: These freeze beautifully for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat: For best results, use a toaster or air fryer at 375°F for 3–4 minutes. This brings back the original crunch that the microwave will kill.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Can I use a regular pancake mix? A: You can, but it won't have that classic savory cornbread flavor.
  • Q: How do I keep them from getting soggy? A: Always reheat in a toaster or air fryer. The microwave makes them soft.
  • Q: Are these good for meal prep? A: Yes! They are one of my favorite "grab and go" savory breakfasts or lunches.
