Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, Gruyere, Munster or your favorite)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter:

    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the shredded cheese.
    • You can add a bit of Vanilla Extract or Vanilla Coffee Creamer for extra flavor.
  2. Fire Up the Grill:

    • Preheat your Arteflame grill to medium-high heat to get it ready for grilling.
  3. Cook the Pancakes:

    • Lightly oil the flat cooktop with butter. Pour or scoop the batter onto the cooktop, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Spread the batter out to form a circle.
    • Cook the pancake for about 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown.
    • For an extra delicious crunchy cheese kick, spread the cheese onto the cooktop and let it melt, then pour the batter over top of it!
  4. Serve:

    • Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve hot, garnished with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

Tips

  • Butter vs. Olive Oil: Butter adds richness and flavor to the pancakes, while olive oil keeps them light and crispy.
  • High Heat for Searing: Achieve a perfect texture by utilizing the high heat of the Arteflame Grill.
  • Even Cooking: Spread the batter evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
