Introduction to Blackstone Recipes

What is a Blackstone Griddle?

A Blackstone griddle is a flat-top outdoor cooking surface powered by propane. Unlike traditional grills, it offers a smooth surface perfect for cooking breakfast foods, stir-fries, burgers, and more. Think of it as your backyard version of a restaurant griddle.

Why Blackstone Recipes Are So Popular

The appeal lies in versatility. With one piece of equipment, you can cook:

• Breakfast classics like bacon and eggs
• Street-style tacos
• Restaurant-style hibachi meals
• Desserts and sweet treats

Not to mention, cooking on a Blackstone adds a unique smoky flavor you won’t get indoors.

To make the most of your Blackstone recipes, you’ll need:

Tips for Perfect Griddle Cooking

Time-Saving Tips for Busy Cooks

• Prep ahead: Chop veggies and marinate meats before firing up the griddle.
• Batch cooking: Cook large portions and store leftovers for easy reheating.
• Use two spatulas: This makes flipping, chopping, and mixing much faster.
• Clean as you go: Wipe down the griddle between batches for smoother cooking.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Cooking on a Blackstone

1. Skipping preheating: Always heat your griddle for even cooking.
2. Overcrowding the surface: Give food space to sear instead of steam.
3. Using too much oil: A light coat prevents sticking without making food greasy.
4. Improper cleaning: Leaving food residue can ruin future meals. Always scrape and re-season after cooking.
5. Cooking cold meat: Let meat rest at room temperature before placing it on the griddle for even doneness.

Equipment

• Blackstone (flat-top) griddle
• Metal spatulas
• Griddle dome or large heat-safe cover
• Squeeze bottle for oil
• Small mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Parchment paper (optional)

Ingredients

  

For the Rolls

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted, divided
• 1 can refrigerated pizza dough about 13.8 oz (or use homemade dough)
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
• 1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour for dusting
• 1 tbsp neutral oil avocado or canola, for the griddle

For the Icing

• 3/4 cup powdered sugar sifted
• 2 tbsp cream cheese softened
• 1 1/2 tbsp milk plus more to thin, as needed
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 pinch fine sea salt to balance sweetness

Instructions

 

• Preheat the griddle: Heat your Blackstone to medium-low (about 325–350°F). Lightly oil the surface with a squeeze bottle and spread with a spatula.
• Mix the filling: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
• Prepare the dough: Lightly flour a clean surface. Unroll or roll the dough into a 12×9-inch rectangle. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border on the long edge.
• Add filling & roll: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough. Starting from the long edge, roll into a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal and rotate seam-side down.
• Slice: Using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss, cut the log into 8 even pieces. Gently press each slice to 1–1/2 inches thick to help them cook evenly on the griddle.
• Start cooking: Brush the tops and bottoms with the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter. Place rolls on the oiled griddle, cut-side down. Cover with a dome or large heat-safe lid to trap heat.
• Griddle & flip: Cook 5–6 minutes until the bottoms are deep golden. Flip carefully with a spatula, cover again, and cook 4–6 minutes more, until the centers are puffed and cooked through. If browning too quickly, reduce heat.
• Make the icing: While rolls cook, whisk powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Adjust milk for a pourable glaze.
• Glaze & serve: Transfer rolls to a plate. Drizzle generously with icing and serve warm.

Notes

• For extra gooey centers, add 1 tablespoon softened butter dotted over the cinnamon-sugar before rolling.
• If your griddle has hot spots, keep one cooler zone to finish rolls gently without over-browning.
• Make-ahead tip: Assemble and slice the rolls, then chill up to 12 hours. Cook straight from the fridge, adding 1–2 extra minutes per side.
• Try orange zest in the icing for a citrus twist.
