Arteflame Grilled Pancakes Recipe

Introduction

Making pancakes on the Arteflame grill is a unique and fun way to enjoy breakfast outdoors. The grill’s flat cooktop provides an even surface for flipping fluffy, golden pancakes. Pair them with your favorite toppings for a breakfast treat everyone will love.

Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for greasing)

Optional Toppings:

• Maple syrup
• Fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
• Sliced bananas
• Whipped cream
• Chocolate chips
• Powdered sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
3. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to ensure fluffy pancakes.

Step 2: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

1. Light the Arteflame grill using vegetable oil-soaked napkins under firewood. Allow the grill to heat for about 20 minutes.
2. Clean the flat cooktop and lightly grease it with melted butter or a small amount of oil.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

1. Use a ladle or measuring cup to pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the greased flat cooktop for each pancake.
2. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Flip the pancakes gently with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4: Serve

1. Remove the pancakes from the grill and stack them on a plate.
2. Top with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, maple syrup, or whipped cream.
3. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Pancakes on the Arteflame

1. Grease Sparingly: Use just enough butter to coat the cooktop to prevent sticking.
2. Use Medium Heat: Ensure the flat cooktop isn’t too hot to avoid burning the pancakes. Medium heat works best.
3. Consistent Size: Use a ladle or measuring cup to pour the batter evenly for uniform pancakes.
4. Don’t Overflip: Flip the pancakes only once to keep them fluffy.

Variations

1. Blueberry Pancakes: Add fresh blueberries to the batter before pouring.
2. Chocolate Chip Pancakes: Sprinkle chocolate chips on the batter once it’s on the cooktop.
3. Banana Nut Pancakes: Mix mashed bananas and chopped nuts into the batter.
4. Savory Pancakes: Skip the sugar and add grated cheese, herbs, or cooked bacon bits.
5. Vegan Pancakes: Substitute milk with plant-based milk and use a flaxseed egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water).

Pairings

• Drinks: Serve with coffee, tea, or a fresh orange juice.
• Sides: Pair with crispy bacon, sausages, or grilled fruit.
• Sauces: Complement with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey.

Conclusion

Arteflame pancakes are a delightful way to enjoy breakfast outdoors. The grill’s even heat creates perfectly golden pancakes, and the experience of cooking outdoors adds to the fun. Customize with toppings and enjoy a breakfast everyone will love.
