Description

Crisp golden edges, fluffy diner-style centers. The Blackstone's wide flat-top cooks a whole stack at once — perfect for feeding a hungry weekend crowd in 20 minutes.

Ingredients 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for the griddle

Optional Mix-Ins

  • Fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Diced banana or strawberries
  • 1 tsp cinnamon + 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat the griddle. Turn the Blackstone to medium heat and preheat for 8–10 minutes, aiming for about 375°F. A drop of water should dance and sizzle on contact.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients. Pour in the milk, egg, and melted (slightly cooled) butter. Stir gently just until the dry ingredients are moistened — a few lumps are perfect. Let the batter rest 5 minutes.
  • Oil the griddle. Drizzle 1–2 tablespoons of vegetable oil onto the hot griddle and spread it into a thin, even sheen with a paper towel.
  • Pour the pancakes. Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup or ladle, pour rounds of batter onto the griddle, leaving about 2 inches between each one.
  • Watch for bubbles, then flip. After 2–3 minutes, bubbles will form on the surface and the edges will look set. Flip once and cook 1–2 minutes more, until golden brown.
  • Serve immediately. Stack with butter, maple syrup, and fresh berries. Hold extra pancakes warm on a sheet pan in a 200°F oven.

Equipment

  • Blackstone Griddle
  • Cooking Oil

Notes

Recipe Notes

  • Don't overmix — a lumpy batter makes fluffier pancakes.
  • Check your baking powder! If it's older than 6 months, replace it.
  • Sprinkle mix-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips after pouring the batter onto the griddle for even distribution.
  • Re-oil the griddle lightly between batches to prevent sticking.
  • Cool leftovers completely, then freeze flat. Reheat straight from frozen in the toaster.
