YES!!!! Pure Vanilla Extract makes a Big Difference!!! I used McCormick for years, and then I tried some Pure Mexican Vanilla Extract and OMG...Game Changer!!!

I have a Dakota Nexgrill...maybe one day I can graduate to a Blackstone 😍
Thanks for sharing!!
Chocolate Chips🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 She's a keeper!!!

You guys are the best!!! I’m learning so much about griddling techniques and it has really showed up in my cooking.
Great to hear that Bob...really appreciate the support
Soppin’ up the syrup on the cutting board! Love it! Those pancakes look awesome…thanks for sharing

Congrats on 100k. Picking up my first ever griddle (Blackstone 36 Culinary with side table) next week. Cant wait to try this and so many others!
Hope you enjoy
Pancakes look awesome. You definitely are the Flattop King 👑👑
I appreciate that Lloyd....definitely took some time and multiple recipes for this
@@TheFlatTopKing Well, you did good.
Weber nailed the even heat that’s for sure. Great looking cakes.
Truly did...
Yep definitely liked the looks of the second batch, the butter taste can be added to the stack while eating.
Absolutely....
Home made vanilla is a game changer! And it's super easy to make.
I need to try it...thanks
Excellent recipe! I love your griddle recipes. Something you might want to try sometime….I love vanilla but I love almond extract even more. I also incorporate some Reese’s peanut butter chips in my batter. Always a hit and truly addictive! Keep up the good work!
Congrats on your milestone of 100,000 subscribers, and we tried your recipe for these fluffy pancakes, everyone loved them. Thank you Thank you. God bless, from a loyal subscriber.
Hey thats awesome...thanks for trying and reaching back out...
Haven't made pancakes on the griddle yet can't wait to make some good video. Chocolate chip pancakes are great 👍 will make them or put apples in them 😋
If you ever get the chance to go to Mexico, or know someone going.
Pick up a couple bottles of pure Mexican vanilla.
My wife and I were in Tijuana couple years back and I was in a grocery store.
Picked up two bottles (wine bottle size), for around $7.00-$8-00 each.
We now have years worth of vanilla.
Binge watched quite a few of your vids last night. Definitely want to try your steak fajita marinade soon and I’m try your ranch today. Thanks for the great vids!!
Thank you bud...
I definitely want to try this recipe! Those look bomb Neal!! I have tried quite a few recipes and find your recipe to be unique.
Thanks bud...i would really enjoy that...see if they are as good as we think
Oh I plan to look over all recipes you do a great job 😉 👍
Wet now I gotta try this method
Please do
These look great! I’ll go get the recipe, and use my expensive vanilla!
ahhahha I would love feedback...took alot of testing...hope you enjoy...
Tried them today. My wife and kids pronounced them the best ever.
Man thats awesome....big head nod...thank you
Just got your muffin mix recipe mastered, or at least acceptable and you crank this up to a new level. We served the muffin mix version this weekend to friends visiting and they raved over the flavors and taste, we used apple mix with International Vanilla coffee creamer. Now you go and up the game again. Well done to both of you!!
hahahah Hey these were fantastic for sure...Amy loved em and wants chocolate chips in there next time...
Just made your pancake recipe this morning. It was a hit with my family. My wife, who doesn't like pancakes, ate 3 of them. Thanks for sharing this and the videos. Keep up the good work!!
Fantastic! thanks Bret...
Outstanding pancake recipe! Nice website too! Easy to print!
SUBSTITUTIONS: 1) I subbed the milk for butter milk + a little whole milk to thin the batter slightly. 2) I cut sour cream in half. 3) I subbed 2T flour for 2T ground flax seed. Could also sub about 25% flour for whole wheat flour. Fun to experiment :)
Thank you....
Those look awesome Neal 👍 my 94 year old mother used to call my older brother fluffy because of his pancakes. Really liked the color on those pancakes looked so delicious especially when you did the taste test.
hahahah I am sure I have been called that for other reasons...
Looks like a the grandkids are getting sprinkled pancakes this week! (Cause grandpa wants some fried edge pancakes with a new recipe! Yummmm!
hahhaha get em....
Pancakes turned out so good.Also hashbrowns and bacon
Just made em this morning on another video posting this Monday...cheers
I love pancakes my favorite. I will definitely be trying your recipe
Heck yeah...please let us know what you think
Wow, you blew my whole comment! I saw the heading and was going to tell you to use baking soda and apple cider vinegar! I have not tried this for pancakes, but I separate my eggs and whip them stiff and fold in the batter for waffles. It makes them lighter and fluffier!
Absolutely ....thanks bud
Breakfast is the best.
Butter, syrup and Amy sneezes 😂. I need to try this recipe. Great video
hahahahha
That’s gonna make me cook pancakes now. I haven’t cooked them since my kids were young and they are in their 20’s now. I’ll cook them for my wife 👍🏻
Lets get on it...
I'm a fan of vanilla bean paste instead of extract. Much better, and you get those little flecks of the actual vanilla beans. So good!
I'll be making the soon! Looks delicious!
great idea....thanks Tanya...
Homemade vanilla extract is Vanilla bean and Vodka, let it sit 3 months takes a little time but it is so good I think you will love it I used 6 or 8 beans and 400 m of Vodka thanks for all your videos.
Thanks for the tips!
I'm definitely trying this recipe. In my regular pancake recipe I sometimes switch it up with either vanilla, almond, strawberry or banana extract. I usually add in some banana pieces and pecans with the banana extract pancakes.
Yeah great call.....thanks
I usually buy vanilla at Costco, it’s such a huge savings. If the $20 vanilla was the same size as that McCormick bottle, there would be no way in the world that I would buy it for $20. I’m currently using vanilla from Mexico that I picked up last year, the best vanilla ever!
Thanks Erica...they both have been highly recommend so far...will do for sure...
I love this video I just subscribed 🎉😂 I’m the pancake man 😂 🥞
Hey thats great...if you make them let us know that you think ...thanks for the support
Love me some pancakes
Absolutely
Congratulations on your 100,000 subscribers. You all deserve it. Just love watching your channel and your recipes are fabulous!
Cheers to another 100,000!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Those pancakes look perfect! I bought some Kodiak pancake mix and made them with eggs, milk and butter ... and was totally underwhelmed. My husband asked what I did to the pancakes--and not in a good way. lol I am so going to be making your recipe next time around. Who knew all that vinegar could turn out such spectacular results! PS. Always used really good vanilla. PSS. More butter = more better.
You are so welcome! hahah love the butter...if you make these please let us know what you think...
@@TheFlatTopKing Will do!
Looks great guys. I'm not a big pancake eater. I love them but try to stay away from carbs as much as I can LOL. Ive been planning on making pancakes and I want to use your Muffin Mix style. Great video. Thanks for posting!
Thanks bud...completely understand
I don’t do pancakes often, but man yours look worth making.
Thanks Erica
Hello from Crossville!
GBO>>>>>
Looks delicious.
Heck no I’m not paying $20 for pure Vanilla extract. The Vanilla Flavoring works just fine.
Hard to complain...I didnt either haahha
I make my own vanilla and vanilla paste. There is a big difference. I’ll send you some to sample.
Can’t wait to try this tomorrow. There is one breakfast recipe missing from your breakfast Menu, that is caramelized apples?
Absolutely love it....
Neal & Amy Congratulations on the 100,000👏 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 First off my wife is going to kill me but it's worth it. Your pancake recipe kicks butt ! I can't wait to cook my first breakfast on the flat top. Thank you for all the tips & recipes
ahhaaha heck yea...thank you so much...cheers
I'll have to try this even though I don't care for sour cream but it's worth a try. I will keep with using almond extract instead of vanilla extract as it's got more flavor that I like.
Got ya...thats what cooking is all about....lets us know what you think
If you would like to spice the pancakes up I use ginger in my batter and make a lemon curd sauce to go on top after they are cooked. Lemon and ginger are great for the body and health and the acid helps break up the heaviness on the gut.
Very true...and spot on...thanks Chuck
You are welcome shipmate
Krusteaz Complete Buttermilk Pancake is the best premix
What is a good griddle temp for pancakes? I've messed a few batches up, maybe it's the temp. Great video. Thanks for all you both do
375 ish...
Thanks. Tried it this morning. Worked out great
Good video Neal ! I love pancakes and bacon... Like Homer Simpson said " mmmmmmmmmmmm pancakes " he said beer but whatever . THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA...
ahahahh Thanks Frank....Cheers
Boy… that Webber. Plain Jane…but boy does that heat distribute nicely!!! Great video!!!
Yes absolutely....highly recommend for sure...
As usual, awesome video! Just a side question regarding your two shake seasoning. Are you shipping in Canada? I'm in Québec.
as of now..no but we are trying...
Buy vanilla beans split and cut them in half put them in a mason jar. Pour in vodka to cover the vanilla beans. Place the cover on the jar shake the jar to release some of the seeds. Place in a cool dark cabinet for a month shaking the jar once a week. You will have a great tasting vanilla extract. Replace with vodka when you see your supply running low. Enjoy
Try using everclear the higher the proof of alcohol the fast the reaction will be with vanilla beans.
I appreciate that...
You can also get really good fluffy pancakes if you use sprite or 7up in your mix as well and you can just use box mix
Are you using sprite instead of milk or water? This sounds interesting with a box mix
@@denisestokes453 yes if the mix calls for 2/3 cup of water you would use 1/3 water and 1/3 sprite Everyone in my family says they are the best pancakes they have ever had
You can try adjusting your griddle temp at the bottle valve knob to get the temp lower than 350F. You have to turn in on low, watch the flame while turning the bottle valve knob off slowly to get a low flame.
Neal... i gotta start watching these videos earlier, cause here it is 22:30 hours and I'm making pancakes. Luckily I have the Blackstone 17" E-Series griddle and it was just a matter of turning it on to the desired temp. I should have waited just a bit longer and listen to the temp you said i.e. 375 degrees. I set it to 360 and I think the extra 15 degrees would have browned them just a bit darker. I cheated though and used Bisquick Shake 'n Pour Buttermilk Pancake Mix. I'm sure they weren't as good as yours but it took care of my pancake fix.
Thats what its all about....just being able to do it...
I make my own vanilla. Vanilla bean and vodka. Has to sit for a long time in a cool dark place. 6 mo or so but I can control the vanilla flavor by the number of beans I put in. Plus when the beans are used up you can pull them out and dry them out and grind them into a fine powder and add to sugar for future recipies
Man I have got to get off my butt and try that out...truly...thanks
I make my own as well. I haven’t bought store bought vanilla in years
I get my vanilla extract from Costco, big bottle last a long time.
Great suggestion...thanks Alan
After working in restaurants for many years, besides the recipe, the most important thing in cooking a good pancake is making sure your grill is seasoned, but dry.
You don’t put anything on the griddle , no oil or butter?
@@denisestokes453 No, I don't put any butter or oil on the grill, whether in a restaurant setting or at home. In the restaurant, say, at Denny's where you order pancakes, the grill is always hot and ready for the next pancake, just scrape off the excess from the last order, but always on a dry grill. At home I use a non-stick skillet to achieve the same results. You don't want to fry your pancakes, just cook them until they are fluffy. Some people like fried pancakes, but if you want those fluffy, golden brown pancakes at home, cook them dry and add the butter to the pancakes when they are done.
Also, don't stir the batter too much, just enough so the ingredients are incorporated. If you whip the batter or mess with it too much your cakes will be flat.
Great looking pancakes Neal! Secret family recipe I'll share. Substitute half your milk calling with your favorite coffee creamer flavor. Grew my kids up with hazelnut flavored pancakes. Or whatever flavor coffee creamer you love. My kids are now grown up but they'll never find pancakes they grew up with unless they come back home.
oh yeah absolutely....we have used that several times and TONS in the military
I stopped using vanilla in my pancakes a long time ago.... You should try adding Starbucks Pink Drink. It's Strawberry Acai coconut milk.
I've done a lot of different pancake recipes and by far the easiest and it tastes just as good as anything homemade. I don't know if everyone is able to get it but southern biscuit flour formula L. It has little pieces of shortening and butter flavored specs in it. All you do is just put a cup or two of that in a bowl. Pour milk in it and mix it until that's the consistency you want. If you like thick pancakes, make it thick. If you like thinner pancakes, make it a thinner batter. You can add a little bit of sugar. You can add vanilla. It is seriously the best pancakes and so easy.
Great shortcut...
@@TheFlatTopKing And yes I'm all about homemade. I'm not a fan of boxed anything when you can make it better but just to buy something like that in a bag and it makes a pancake that tastes as good as anything else. It's pretty handy to have. This recipe looks great though... We've not seen any bacon dust in a while...
If you set up a basic gate for your mic, you could cut out all background sound. Not sure if it is there in purpose or not but your mic quality is great otherwise. It won't help with the camera sneeze though. Haha thank you for the video!
That's a good idea!
I wish your pancake recipe was easy to obtain, but when I have to click on this, then click on that and download this. That's when I say forget it! Pancake's look good though.
2 clicks...theflattopking.com/pancakes-on-the-griddle/
Dang, those are some delicious pancakes Neal! Spend some PB&J on them…..yummy! Ok, so how do those compare to the ones you make with muffin mix? Those also look delicious. Nice recipe! Cheers brother!
Ya know its extremely hard to make the same conclusion because they don't have that SWEET to it...let me as Amy...She said the exact the same thing...just so different...she said they are sweeter and denser...the homemade were fluffier and lighter...
@@TheFlatTopKing I really like the lighter and fluffier cuz you can eat more of them.....hahaha! ( dude...your gonna hit that 100K by the start of Summer)
Mexican vanilla is key
Curious, can you use buttermilk or regular milk in box pancake mix when it calls for water? Will it give the pancakes a different or better taste?
Absolutely...we do it all the time...maybe not the buttermilk but...yeah
😮
Btw I was watching your video and a commercial popped up for Taco Bell’s breakfast Crunchwrap. Seems simple enough so I thought I’d give it a try soon. Will you add this to your video idea list? I’d love your take!
I can think of something crazy..haahhaha
On the vanilla question you can taste and smell the difference. Although I make my own vanilla. Getting ready to make 20 bottles of pure vanilla extract. 10 bottles of Madagascar vanilla extract and 10 bottles of Tahitian vanilla extract.
Geeze that sounds good..thanks Robert
Yes. It’s worth the extra $. Vanilla bean paste vs extract. Totally different taste.
Thanks
made flattop pancakes this morning, then see this video haha
Hahahaha great minds think alike.
Mexican Vanilla best around $8:00 for large bottle.
I need to get some for sure...
My mother use to add McCormick's Vanilla Extract to her delicious caramel cakes. 🥞 for breakfast tomorrow. After I go to the store and get some 🦃 🥓. Take care of those allergies Amy.
That is awesome! I appreciate that..
We get a big bottle of pure vanilla from mexico for 10ish
WOW...spot on..
If you ever take a vacation to Mexico, you gotta pick up a bottle of vanilla. (Like a 4-5oz bottle unless you’re a baker)
Definitely need to..been told many times now and now I need it...haahahah
What brand laser temp. gun do you use?
Without looking...absolutely no idea...i do have a link listed below...it starts with a E..im ont home while answering this...sorry
@@TheFlatTopKing thank you so much for your responses and always getting back to me.
I think this explains the inconsistentcy of my pancakes. The first side has a fresh slab of butter that it cooks on and I don't re-butter on the flip, so my batch gets examples 1&2 onnthe same pancake...
We make our vanilla with a vanilla bean and a 5th of vodka. Let it sit for 6 months in a dark spot and you have yourself enough to last for quite some time.
Oh wow...thanks
After you flip, how much longer before you pull off?
Not long for sure...less than half the time...
