- Add the following ingredient to your bowl: all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, baking powder. Mix them together. Then put it aside.
- Adds your eggs to the other bowl and whisk them till they form a thick paste. Then add your milk and melted butter to the eggs and continue whisking till everything is well mixed.
- Now, add your wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk them until everything is well combined. If you want soft and fluffy pancakes, ensure you attain a thick batter yet a little bit runny.
- Leave the batter for a few minutes as you preheat your griddle.
Preheat your Electric Griddle
Now, preheat your electric griddle to medium heat for about 10 minutes. Preheating your griddle prevents pancakes from sticking to the cooking surface. Additionally, it ensures heat is evenly distributed all over the griddle’s cooking surface before placing your pancake batter for cooking.
Most importantly, ensure you don’t preheat your griddle over the high-temperature setting. Also, remember to spray your griddle’s cooking surface with a thin layer of cooking spray or butter.
Cook your Pancakes on the Preheated Electric Griddle
Once your electric griddle is ready, you should add small amounts (equivalent to the number of pancakes it can accommodate at once) of batter on the cooking surface.
After a few minutes, you’ll notice bubbling on the batter as it cooks. After about 2-3 minutes, your pancakes will have attained a brown color on the cooking side, and it’s a sign you flip the pancakes.
Then allow the other side to cook for about 2 minutes before removing them from the griddle. You should get golden brown pancakes. Repeat the process until all the pancake batter you had prepared is used up.
It is worth noting that your temperature shouldn’t surpass 375 degrees F while cooking pancakes on an electric griddle.
Remove and serve
Once your pancakes are ready, place them on a plate and serve them with your favorite condiment such as maple syrup, eggs, toffee sauce, ice cream, fresh fruits, whipped cream, etc.
That is how you make perfect fluffy pancakes on an electric griddle. It’s that easy!
