FAQ
Can I make these ahead of time?
Mini pancakes can be made a day ahead, but assemble the kabobs just before serving to prevent fruit from releasing moisture and making pancakes soggy.
What if I don't have wooden skewers?
You can use plastic appetizer picks, small forks, or even serve the components separately as a deconstructed version on a platter.
How long do leftovers keep?
Assembled kabobs are best eaten immediately but can be refrigerated covered for up to 4 hours. The pancakes may become slightly soggy from fruit moisture.
