Plan it
Brunch without the rush
- Mix pancake batter the night before and keep it covered in the fridge; stir gently before cooking. Waffle batters with whipped egg whites are best made just before cooking.
- Keep finished pancakes warm on a sheet pan in a 200°F (95°C) oven.
- The French toast casserole and strata are assembled the evening before, then baked in the morning.
- Cook bacon or sausage on a sheet pan in the oven to free up the stovetop.
