Preparation

In a large bowl, sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, vanilla, and egg.

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth. If the batter is too thick, add extra milk.

Pour the batter into an ice cube tray or silicone cube tray. Add desired toppings and freeze until cubes are solid. Store in airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.

To make the pancakes:

Cook from frozen! Place the pancake cubes in a pan greased with Canadian butter over low heat with a lid on top.

Let the underside cook until it turns a golden brown color. When bubbles start forming on the top and around the surface, it's time to flip the pancakes.

Top with fruit and Canadian whipped cream. Enjoy!
