Blackstone: Silver Dollar Pancakes

EQUIPMENT

• Blackstone Griddle

• Mixing Bowl x2

• Whisk

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 3/4 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with a squeeze of lemon juice to mimic buttermilk)

• 1/4 cup milk

• 1 large egg

• 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for greasing)

• Cooking spray or oil for the griddle

1. Instructions

   Step 1: Prepare the Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, milk, egg, and melted butter, whisking until smooth.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be a bit lumpy to keep the pancakes light and fluffy. Avoid over-mixing, as this can make the pancakes tough.

2. Step 2: Preheat the Griddle

1. Preheat your Blackstone Griddle to medium-low heat (about 325°F to 350°F). Use an infrared thermometer if you have one, as griddle temperatures can vary.

2. Once the griddle is hot, lightly coat it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil, then wipe any excess with a paper towel. You can also use a bit of melted butter for extra flavor, which will give the pancakes a golden crust.

3. Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

1. Using a tablespoon or small ladle, pour about 1-2 tablespoons of batter onto the griddle for each silver dollar pancake. Space them out to avoid crowding.

2. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look slightly dry.

3. Flip each pancake with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the other side is golden brown.

4. Step 4: Serve

1. Remove the pancakes from the griddle and place them on a plate.

2. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed between batches.

5. Serving Suggestions: Serve these silver dollar pancakes stacked and topped with:
