The best griddle temp for pancakes is medium. You'll want to warm your pan for 3-5 minutes over medium heat and then make a small test pancake. If the better sizzle when you pour it on and the pancakes begins to brown and bubble pretty quickly, then the griddle temp is right. If the pancakes are cooking a little too slow, turn the temperature up just a little If your test pancake cooks too fast, lower the heat just a little. Pancakes should cook for about one minute on each side.
