Huckleberry Hotcakes on JJ

[Hell Fire Grill]

This was a fun trial run making pancakes on a modern JJ I picked up recently. Mostly pics...





The first one was a flop instead of a flap but I ate it anyways.


After I got the heat down everything went smooth and easy.














The recipe is "Clark Gable Pancakes" for the base recipe. Its a good simple recipe that dont require any whipped egg whites or special techniques but makes a good pancake with a nice rise, texture, & flavor, plus its adaptable without wrecking the rise.

I was forced to alter the recipe slightly because I was short on Baking Powder. Instead of using 2 Tb/cup of flour that Clark called for,  I used 1 Tb/cup flour and substituted 1/4 ts. of Baking Soda/cup flour. The acid in the Huckleberrys will boost the leavening ability of the Baking Powder so the Soda is probably not necessary, but I wanted to make sure to get a really good rise (which ended up about 3/4' thick). The vanilla was not added either.

1 Cup Flour
1 Tb. Baking Powder
1/4 Ts. Baking Soda
1/4 Ts. Salt
1 Egg
1 Cup Milk
2 Tb. Oil

Beat it, heat it, & eat it...

What do you think about the jj?  I'm keeping an eye out for one of those.  Pancakes look great

and is there enough room between the grate for charcoal baskets?

Thanks guys.

I like the modern JJ because its light and easy to haul around, but its a junker in comparison to the old ones.

Yes there is room, Hoosier. And it doesn't take much coal to get and stay hot.

It dont take much at all. Compare my first pic with what you can see of the last one and you can tell the actively burning charcoal has barely progress from start to finish. I controlled the heat by putting the lid on, with the vent completely closed, as necessary.

Good looking flap jacks man. I haven't done breakfast on the kettle yet. Needs to get checked off the list.

Is that a CI griddle … Or, a DO lid ??  Either way, it served its purpose very nicely.  Great looking FJs.
