Green Velvet Pancakes Recipe

Chef’s Tip: Freeze extra pancakes in a single layer on a parchment paper- lined baking sheet. To reheat, stack frozen pancakes on a plate and microwave for 90 seconds, or until heated through. Or warm them using a push-down toaster. The batter can also be used in a waffle iron.
