How to griddle pancakes…
- Preheat your Traeger Flatrock, or Blackstone Grill or whatever outdoor griddle you’re using to medium heat and add 2 tbsp butter to the griddle. Spread the butter around as it melts, so your entire cooking surface has a buttery coat.
- Scoop or pour pancake batter onto the buttered cooking surface and cook for 2 – 3 minutes or until they start to brown to your liking. You’ll know when to flip the pancakes once the air bubbles start popping through to the surface.
- Flip and continue to cook the pancake until done. About ~ 2 minutes

FAQs
I set my Traeger Flatrock griddle to the medium setting. Surface temp is ~350 – 375 degrees F.
My rule is to not mess with a pancake after you put the batter onto the griddle. Wait until you start seeing bubbles start to pop through to the surface. Wait for those bubbles to pop before you flip the pancake. Should be about 2 – 3 minutes before you flip it.
You should use butter when griddling pancakes. When the batter hits the hot butter, it creates a nice pancake browning that everyone enjoys.
