My griddle extends over two gas rings which I have on high until it is hot and then I turn down to medium/low as I cook. You want the plate hot but not so hot that your cakes will cook/burn in ten seconds. I flip my after about twenty seconds and they’re done in about 30.

If yours are burning then the heat is too high or you’re leaving them on there for too long. Like any food cooked over a heat (such as fried eggs) they will cook a little further once they’re off the heat so don’t be afraid to take them off just before they’re “done”.

I’m afraid with these things it’s very much trial and error but don’t give up.

Hope this helps
