Can you make pancakes in advance and re-heat?

We've been invited by some neighbours to a Pancake party with the kids, but she's asked us to 'bring our own pancakes' which seems a bit strange?

Can I make them, wrap them in foil and reheat or anything?

Don't know quite how to go about this. Also can't imagine they'll be as nice as ones just made?

how wierd to bring your own pancakes
isn't the idea of the party to make them?!!
I'd bring some from M&S and a bottle of wine as it sounds like you might need it

yes, it's a bit tight, given they cost pennies to make. She could bloomin well make them in advance

OK - just foudn this:
English Pancakes
Ingredients

8 ounces plain flour (all purpose flour)
1 egg
2 egg yolks
2 ounces butter
½ ounce caster sugar (extra fine granulated)
1 pint milk (20 fluid ounces)
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
pinch of salt
Sugar, lemons and Oranges for garnish
1 tablespoon vegetable oil to ?season the pan?

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, ½ oz sugar and salt
Add the egg and yolks followed by the milk and vegetable oil and continue whisking until there are no lumps
Melt the butter in a small pan until it is golden brown and whisk into the pancake mix. Leave the batter to rest for about 15 minutes
Heat an 8 inch pancake pan ? or small frying pan and add the 1 tbs vegetable oil and spread it around the base of the pan. Carefully heat the oil until it starts to smoke and then pour it into a small bowl for later use if needed and return the pan to the heat
Pour about two tablespoons of the batter into the pancake pan, tilting the pan to coat the base evenly. Cook until the base is golden brown and then turn or toss to cook the other side
Turn out the pancake onto an upturned dinner plate and repeat step 5 with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes
Serve straight away with the lemon and orange wedges and sugar
If you want to make the pancakes in advance then lightly butter an ovenproof tray and sprinkle each pancake with sugar. Fold them in half and then half again arranging neatly on the tray. Cover the tray with foil and bake in a 350f / 175c degree oven for about 15 minutes. Serve with the lemon and Orange wedges
Makes about 20 (8 inch) pancakes

Still can't believe we've been asked to take pancakes? What will they be providing - the plates?

Perhaps she couldn't face cooking them all. I wouldn't mind, but some people find cooking a chore/difficult.

And she might have felt obliged to to pancakes if her dc had a heartfelt wish for them.

You can freeze pancakes and they heat up okay, though you're right, they're not quite as nice as freshly made. Make sure to separate each pancake with a sheet of greaseproof or you might find they stick together in a lump.

Or you can buy them in packs of 6 from Tescos etc !
