Any experience freezing crepe/pancake batter?

    So there's only one of me, and my other half doesnt like pancakes (I know, I know, but I still love him). My usual pancake batter scaled down to the point of one egg is still a bit too much for one person, and I was wondering does anyone freeze pancake batter, and how they get on with it?


    (My usual recipe is 8oz flour, 1pt milk, and 2 eggs (forgive the imperial, it's from an old cookbook), it's a good allround thin batter for sweet or savoury crepes, as there's no raising agent in it, I think it *might* be freezable, but I'm not sure how it'll turn out)

    Oh, and I'd rather not cook and reheat them, as reheated pancakes do be mad rubbery IME

    I'd be concerned about the egg.

    Perhaps do some scrambled / poached eggs.

    My batter is an egg per person and enough flour and milk to get the consistency I want, and it's a good amount for one person, the sheer hassle of freezing it (if it's possible) wouldn't be worth it considering how easy it is to make it fresh with very little leftover, the amount of waste is negligible, wouldn't be worth your while.

    I can't say my pancakes have ever been rubbery after reheating. My mother's oth yes. She uses less butter or oil in the pan than I do and they do turn out dry/rubbery.
    I even freeze pancakes.

    I make it using 1 cup of flour, 1 egg and 1 cup of flour. It makes 10 pancakes which I make for myself over 2 days. I found the batter lasts in the fridge for 3 or 4 days. It might separate and look a bit strange but it just needs a good mix
