A final fox tip

To make the butternut squash puree ahead of time, roast the squash and puree it. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. These pancakes can be made ahead of time and reheated in a toaster or oven. For a twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter for some heat.
