When summer heat makes the indoor kitchen feel like the wrong place to stand, the Blackstone can handle more than burgers. This collection focuses on recipes that use a hot griddle, skillet, or flat-top setup for breakfasts, sandwiches, rice, steaks, sides, and full dinners. You get fast bacon, melty quesadillas, crisp-edged burgers, corn sides, and hearty plates that can move from the backyard setup straight to the table.
Pretzel Pancakes
A weekend breakfast gets a salty-sweet griddle twist with Pretzel Pancakes, a 35-minute recipe that makes 4 servings with crushed pretzels, flour, milk, buttermilk, and separated eggs. The batter rests so the pretzel pieces soften before the pancakes hit the hot surface. Serve them warm with syrup or pancake toppings when breakfast is moving outside with the rest of the summer cooking.
