Tips
- Preheat Properly: Make sure your Blackstone griddle is preheated to the right temperature (325-350°F) for the perfect balance of crispy exterior and soft, gooey interior.
- Oil the Griddle: Lightly grease the griddle surface to prevent sticking and ensure an even cook. This will help achieve that delightful golden-brown crust.
- Space Them Out: When placing the cinnamon rolls on the griddle, leave enough space between each roll to allow for smashing and even cooking.
- Smash Gently: Use a flat spatula to press down on each roll gently. This not only flattens them but also helps create a crispy edge that contrasts beautifully with the soft center.
- Caramelize for Flavor: Drizzle the butter-brown sugar mixture over the rolls while they cook to enhance the flavor and create a delicious caramelized topping.
- Make the Glaze: For an extra touch of sweetness, mix powdered sugar and milk to create a quick glaze. Drizzling this over the warm rolls adds a delightful finish.
- Serve Warm: These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed fresh off the griddle while they’re still warm, ensuring the perfect melt-in-your-mouth experience.
