Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Alternatively, make the pancakes days ahead; place in single layer on cookie sheet. Place in the freezer until frozen solid; remove from cookie sheet and place in a resealable freezer plastic bag. Freeze until ready to use. Reheat in toaster.
  • tip 2
    Just like the pancakes, the Cheesecake Spread can be made in advance; just refrigerate until ready to use, and allow to soften about 20 minutes at room temperature so it becomes spreadable.
  • tip 3
    To make the decorative tape flags, simply trim down some wooden skewers and affix with tape. Cut pennant shapes with scissors.
