How To Cook Pancakes The Blackstone Griddle
In a large mixing bowl, sift and combine your dry ingredients. Then, in a separate bowl, beat the egg until it’s light and fluffy. Pour the milk and butter into the same bowl as the egg and stir to combine.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together until thoroughly combined. Let the pancake batter rest as you heat the Blackstone.
Grease the griddle with butter.
Use a 1/3 measuring cup to scoop the batter onto the griddle. Space each pancake a few inches apart.
Then, once bubbles form on the top of the pancake, flip it over.
Serve fresh and hot with warm butter, maple syrup, and fruit.
Pro Tips
- Use a metal spatula to effectively flip your pancakes on the Blackstone. To ensure fluffy pancakes, don’t press down on them while they cook and don’t flip them too many times.
- To check if the Blackstone is ready to cook, use an infrared temperature gun or sprinkle water on the surface of the griddle. If the water “dances”, it’s ready to go!
- Reduce the heat on a section of your griddle to keep cooked pancakes warm.
Storage And Reheating
Fridge: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to a week.
Freezer: Divide pancakes into serving sizes – in groups of 3 or 4 in separate bags. You can also place them in a container with parchment paper in between each pancake. Thaw to reheat, or reheat from frozen.
Reheat leftover pancakes easily in the toaster oven or microwave.
Why are my pancakes chewy?
Chewy pancakes are often a result over over-mixed batter. Pancakes on the Blackstone can also become chewy if you press down on them while they’re cooking and flip them too many times. Light and fluffy griddle pancakes require less “messing” with the batter.
It’s so easy to learn how to cook pancakes on a griddle, and once you do you’ll never go back!
