How many times have you overestimated your cravings for pancakes and mixed more pancake batter than you could use? Probably too often to realize that the leftover pancake batter will always result in a disappointing breakfast the morning after. But what if we told you that there is a way you can store pancake batter better and save yourself the trouble of making it again tomorrow or the day after?

Instagram cook Nicole Keshishian Modic recently shared a genius hack that will prevent leftover pancake batter from going to waste and save you the trouble of having to make some each time you want pancakes. According to her, all you need to do is freeze it in an ice cube tray.

In a video posted on Instagram, Modic demonstrated how the hack works. According to her, you first need to prepare your pancake mix. Then, pour it into an ice cube tray while adding other ingredients like chocolate chips or blueberries. Then pop the ice cube tray in the freezer.

The next morning, heat a skillet on medium heat and brush it with cooking spray. Pop one pancake batter cube and put it on the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook on each side until the pancakes are golden brown. That’s it!
