Cake – How long does pancake batter last in the fridge

batterpancakesstorage-lifetime

I'm making a packet mix of pancake batter that doesn't lend itself to partial mixes – it's hard to split "1 egg" as an ingredient. How long would pancake batter last in the fridge? Even if it's a worst case of a day or two, I'd still like to know.

Best Answer

Bisquick-originated pancake and waffle batter lasts a day, two at the most.

Data: in college, I made pancakes or waffles every day for a year and a half, making the batter on day 1 and then cooking it on days 1, 2, and 3. Once in that time I got sick on Day 3. Based on that experience, more than 24 hours is getting sketchy, though 48 seems to work most of the time.
