Ingredients and Substitutions
- All-purpose flour — All-purpose flour can be swapped with a gluten-free blend if you're aiming for gluten-free pancakes on the Blackstone. My go-to brand is Bob's Red Mill 1:1.
- Sugar — Just a sweet touch to make your mornings a little brighter. You can subsitute honey or maple syrup for a natural twist.
- Baking powder — Baking powder helps to leaven the pancakes, creating light and fluffy pancakes. If you don't have baking powder, use ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar, â…› teaspoon baking soda and â…› teaspoon cornstarch.
- Salt — A pinch to balance the sweetness and enhance the flavors. Trust me, it makes all the difference.
- Whole milk — It makes the batter creamy and dreamy. Almond or soy milk can be used by those who prefer plant-based options.
- Butter — It brings richness and flavor; unsalted is usually my go-to. Coconut oil is a great dairy-free alternative.
- Egg — I use large eggs, but you can use what you have on hand.
- Vanilla extract — Use a good quality; Vanilla bean paste can also be used.
How to Make Blackstone Griddle Pancakes
Tips & Tricks
- Don't Overmix the Batter: The more you stir the batter, the more gluten developers and the tougher your pancakes become. You should mix the batter just until it comes together. It is ok if a few lumps remain - they will disappear when your pancakes cook.
- Don't Make Ahead: Because of the baking powder in these pancakes, you should cook them as soon as the batter is mixed up.
- Sift Your Flour: if you have time, sift your dry ingredients together. This helps to keep the batter light and fluffy
- Mix Up Your Flavors: For Blackstone Blueberry Pancakes, add 1 tablespoon of thawed frozen blueberries on top of each pancake as soon as they are added to the griddle. For Chocolate Chip Pancakes, add 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips. Proceed as directed.
- Storage: Store leftover pancakes in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to four days. You can keep them in the freezer for up to three months.
FAQ's
How do you keep you pancakes from sticking to a Blackstone?
When cooking pancakes on the Blackstone, make sure to lightly oil the surface before cooking. You can use butter for extra flavor.
Additionaly, make sure you wait until your pancakes are set (see the photos above) before flipping your pancakes with a spatula.
What temp should you cook pancakes on a griddle?
After a lot of experimenting, I have found the best Blackstone temp for pancakes is medium heat, around 350-375° F.
This helps the pancakes cook evenly and ensures that they don't burn or stick to the surface. Feel free to adjust the temperature slightly depending on your prefered pancake texture (crispy vs fluffy). Be sure to keep an eye on them.
Is a griddle better than a skillet for pancakes?
While both a griddle and a skillet can be used to make delicious pancakes, a griddle is often the preferred choice. This is due to its larger surface area and even heat distribution.
This allows for multiple pancakes to be cooked at once. I find a griddle cooks evenly without any hot spots or uneven browning. (Can I get a yay at not having to make batches of pancakes?!)
However, a skillet can still produce great pancakes if you don't have a griddle. Experiment and see which method you prefer!
