Step 1: Prepare the Pan

To start, butter the bottom and sides of a foil pan until it’s covered with butter. Then put your cinnamon rolls in the pan.

Once the rolls are in the pan go around the edge of the pan and bend it in so it’s as small and short as possible. I do this so it’s easier to fit in my basting dome. If you have a lid or a larger basting dome this may not be necessary.

Step 2: Prepare the Griddle

Next you’ll need two pieces of foil. Crumple them up until you have two pieces that resemble sticks. You’ll put these into the shape of an X. Then you’ll put them on the rack on your Blackstone. This helps create more space and airflow between the bottom of the cinnamon rolls and the surface of the Blackstone so the bottoms don’t burn.

Step 3: Add the Cinnamon Rolls

Now you’re ready to put the cinnamon rolls on the Blackstone. Cover them and squish the basting dome down as much as possible to create an oven-like environment.

Make sure the heat is on medium low. Low will take way too long to cook, but much higher than medium will burn the bottoms.

Step 4: Remove the Cinnamon Rolls

Check on the rolls every 10-15 minutes. You want to take them off once the edges start to brown slightly. The time can vary depending on the temperature. It normally takes about 30 minutes.

Try to have an area ready to put a hot pan. Take it off the Blackstone and top with the included frosting.

Now they’re ready to share and enjoy!
