How to Make Pancakes on the Blackstone Griddle
- Step 1 – Prepare Blackstone Grill – Preheat the Blackstone grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).
- Step 2 – Mix together Dry Ingredients – In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder or baking soda, salt and sugar.
- Step 3 – Mix together Wet Ingredients – Then in a separate bowl, melt the butter and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then mix in the eggs, milk and vanilla extract.
- Step 4 – Combine wet and dry ingredients – Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined being careful to not over mix the batter. It’s ok if there are lumps in the batter.
- Step 5 – Pour batter onto griddle – Place one Tablespoon of butter onto the grill. Let it melt and spread it around with a spatula. Pour approximately ⅓ cup of the batter onto the hot Blackstone cooking surface. Continue to pour pancakes onto the griddle spacing them a few inches apart until all the batter is used.
- Step 6 – Cook Pancakes – Griddle cooks the pancakes for 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to appear on the top and the edges are set.
- Step 7 – Flip Pancakes – Use a metal spatula to flip the pancakes and cook the opposite side until it’s golden brown (1-2 more minutes). Do not press done on the pancakes and do not flip the pancakes multiple times.
- Step 8 – Finished Cooking – Once pancakes are finished cooking, I like to stack on a serving platter lined with paper towels.
- Step 9 – Serve and Enjoy – Then serve the pancakes warm topped with butter, syrup or any of your other favorite pancake toppings.
Expert Tips
- Don’t overmix batter – Make sure to not over mix the pancake batter. Mix just until the wet and dry ingredients are combined.
- Butter to room temperature – Make sure that the melted butter has cooled to room temperature so that it does not cook the eggs once they are mixed into the butter.
- Serve Immediately – We like to serve pancakes warm so the butter melts.
What Temp Should Blackstone be at for Pancakes?
When preparing your griddle for cooking pancakes, we recommend cooking them on medium heat to high heat. We like to cook the pancakes with the griddle temperature around 400 degrees.
Cooking the pancakes on a high heat prevents them from sticking to the griddle.
What to Serve with Pancakes?
These pancakes taste even better with a side of Bacon on Blackstone and Breakfast Sausage on Blackstone.
I love to serve with Blackstone Fried Eggs Recipe with a side of fruit salad and Greek yogurt.
Blackstone Pancake Dispenser
We recommend using a Pancake Dispenser. It is much easier pouring the pancake batter on the flat top. We didn’t use it the first time making these pancakes, but we have recently purchased one and it worked much easier.
How do you Keep Pancakes from Sticking on a Griddle
To prevent your pancakes from sticking to the griddle, make sure that you have oiled the griddle properly. We use an oil that has a high smoke point such as vegetable oil. You can also use butter.
Also, make sure your griddle is heated with a high heat. This allows the pancakes to cook and not stick to the griddle.
Blackstone Griddle Pancake Topping Ideas
We love to top our pancakes in many different ways.
- Butter
- Maple Syrup
- Fruit – Strawberries or Blueberries
- Whipped Topping
- Powdered Sugar
- Fresh Fruit
Frequently Asked Questions
When mixing the pancake ingredients, make sure not to overmix the batter. You want the batter to be thick which results in a fluffier pancake. When the pancake batter is thin, the pancakes are thinner.
It takes about 2 minutes on each side for the pancakes to cook. The batter on top starts to bubble and that is when you know that the pancakes are finished cooking. Then you need to flip the pancakes and cook for additional 2 minutes.
Refrigerate the leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to 5 days or you can freeze the pancakes for up to 3 months.
