Tips and Tricks for Making Blackstone Pancakes

• Preheat the Griddle: Ensure your Blackstone griddle is preheated to medium heat (around 375°F) before pouring the batter. A properly preheated griddle will cook the pancakes evenly and give them a nice, golden-brown color .
• Use a Good Batter: Mix your batter just until combined. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy; it will smooth out during cooking .
• Consistent Portioning: Use a ladle or a measuring cup to pour the batter onto the griddle. This helps ensure all pancakes are the same size and cook evenly .
• Grease the Griddle: Lightly grease the griddle with vegetable oil or melted butter before pouring the batter. This prevents sticking and helps create a crispy edge .
• Watch for Bubbles: Wait until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set before flipping them. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Flip gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side .
• Temperature Control: If your pancakes are browning too quickly or not cooking through the center, adjust the heat. Medium heat is generally best, but you might need to lower it slightly if the pancakes are cooking too fast .
• Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure your baking powder and other ingredients are fresh. Old baking powder can result in flat, dense pancakes .
• Don’t Overcrowd the Griddle: Leave enough space between the pancakes to make flipping easier and ensure even cooking. Overcrowding can lead to unevenly cooked pancakes .
• Add Mix-Ins Carefully: If adding mix-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips, sprinkle them onto the batter after pouring it onto the griddle. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the batter bowl and ensures even distribution .
• Keep Pancakes Warm: If making a large batch, keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) until ready to serve. This keeps them warm without drying them out .
