Tips for a Pancake Charcuterie Board
- When you plan ahead, this board makes your event effortless.
- To keep pancakes warm, preheat your oven to 200 degrees F and place the pancakes on a baking sheet in the oven.
- Cut up your butter into little squares so it’s ready to be put onto the pancakes.
- Lay out dishes, napkins, utensils and prepare a self-serve drink station. Once the board is ready, your guests can serve themselves.
- Make sure to have serving spoons and tongs ready so guests can have some fun customizing their pancakes.
- Decide if you are going to do a small or large spread so you can have the right ratio of food. You want the board to look plentiful without any gaps or holes.
