Liver Enzymes The liver produces several enzymes involved in metabolism. Among them, the aminotransferases, also called the transaminases, ALT and AST, which function in protein metabolism, have particular diagnostic value, as they become elevated in several diseases, including those of the liver and gallbladder in addition to disorders of other tissues, including the heart and muscle.
No! You canât make your batter the night before, or even an hour before you make your pancakes. It all goes back to those leavening agents: They start doing their job as soon as they come into contact with the wet ingredients, and will get less and less effective the longer you wait to ladle the batter into the pan.
Freezing pancake batter isn't as tricky as it sounds, especially if you have plastic bags hanging around the kitchen. Just mix up a regular batch of your favorite batter and pour it into a gallon size ziptop bag (smaller if you regularly make pancakes for less than an army). Roll batter up into a cone shape in the bag or ensure all the excess air is out of the bag. Seal and freeze! When you're ready to bust out the pancake making, just thaw in warm water or overnight in the refrigerator. Snip off a corner of the bag and you're ready to pipe the pancakes directly onto the hot griddle.
