- Incorporate Protein: Add the cooked protein of your choice, folding it into the mixture. Allow it to heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
- Fried Eggs (Optional): If desired, you can fry eggs in a separate skillet or on the side of your Blackstone grill. Cook them to your preference (sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.).
- Serve: Once everything is mixed and heated through, transfer the classic breakfast hash to a serving dish or keep it in the skillet. Top with fried eggs and sprinkle fresh herbs if desired.
Variations & Tips:
- Vegetarian Option: Replace the protein with black beans, quinoa, or extra vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for a delicious vegetarian hash.
- Spice It Up: Add spices such as smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or garlic powder to give your hash an extra kick.

With a preparation time of just 10 minutes and a cooking time of about 15 minutes, you can serve up a stack of fluffy pancakes in under half an hour. Whether topped with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream, these pancakes will surely bring a smile to anyone's face.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder

Cooking Instructions:
1. Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; some lumps are okay.
2. Heat the grill: Preheat your Blackstone grill to medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or non-stick spray.
3. Cook the pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the grill for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set.

4. Serve: Remove the pancakes from the grill and stack them on a plate. Drizzle warm maple syrup over the top and add any additional toppings you desire.
Variations and Tips:
- Add-ins: Feel free to mix in chocolate chips, nuts, or blueberries into the batter for added flavor.
- Texture: For even fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. This allows the baking powder to activate fully.
- Keep Warm: If cooking in batches, keep pancakes warm by placing them on a plate in a low oven (200°F) until you're ready to serve.
