Do you have leftover slices of tart, babka and pancakes?

Don’t panic! There are several simple tricks for storing and reusing your leftovers to keep them fresh and delicious for as long as possible.

First tip: Wrap your tarts and pancakes carefully in cling film or place them in an airtight container. Then store them in the refrigerator. They will keep perfectly for 2 to 3 days without losing their flavour.

Babka is best stored at room temperature. Simply place the leftovers in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out and to preserve their moist texture.

Tip number two: Reuse leftover babka or pancakes to create an original cake base! Simply crumble a few pieces and place them in the bottom of a container. Then add a layer of cream, ganache or cream cheese, and top it all off with fresh fruit or a coulis of your choice. In just a few minutes, you’ll have a delicious, beautiful and tasty three-layer dessert! And if your leftovers are no longer edible, you can dispose of them in the compost to nourish the soil in an eco-friendly way.
