Sometimes, the mood strikes for that ideal, perfect snack. Something chewy, but also crispy, and a little salty. It should have a few distinct flavors to keep things interesting. When we get that craving, we often reach for a scallion pancake, which has been described as an amazing snack, as well as a side dish and an appetizer. How you choose to enjoy them is a matter of preference, but there is no debate in our minds that the best way to prepare them is on a Little Griddle griddle, due to a variety of factors that make them best cooked out-of-doors. Before we discuss the "how" and the "where" of scallion pancakes, let's take a look at the "what"...
Pizza cooked and consumed out-of-doors is one of life's great pleasures. To bite into a perfectly cooked pie, with a crackling bottom crust and fragrant tomato sauce still bubbling on top, is to experience as close to a perfect food as you can make anywhere. When you consider that making the pizza yourself costs less, tastes far better, and is ready much faster than going out or having it delivered, the comparison comes down solidly in favor of the home-made variety. There is a common misconception that making pizza at home has to be messy and difficult - let's dispel that myth today, shall we? We will begin with the idea that baking outdoor pizza is more of a 'technique'...
Mmmm.....pancakes. Who doesn't love pancakes? Plate-sized or silver dollar, light and fluffy or dense and chewy, the perfect pancake means different things to different people, but one thing we agree on at Little Griddle is that all pancakes taste better from a griddle, and especially when enjoyed outdoors. With a holiday weekend almost upon us, we decided that it was time to present this classic breakfast dish. There are many, many great pancake recipes! There are recipes with traditional proportions, recipes with an extra egg, and gluten-free blender pancakes with ground rice. Thin it out and you have crepes; make buckwheat pancakes and you are fortified for the day. All are equally wonderful on a stainless steel Little Griddle brand...
If you have never had a fresh cup of coffee, right from the roaster - well, you're in for a treat. Today we are going to discuss how to roast your own coffee using a Little Griddle brand griddle. It takes a little bit more effort than driving to the grocery store and buying a can of coffee, but it might take less time, it is a lot more fun, and the taste is far, far better than anything you can buy in a store. For starters, let's explore the "why" of roasting coffee on an outdoor griddle and grill. In part, this is just worth trying "because you can." Roasting your own coffee is a fun trick that...
This is a fun and very simple recipe, and the results are extremely tasty. These corncakes are the perfect light lunch, or they make an excellent side dish to a larger meal - they would be amazing next to some chile-braised short ribs. The recipe was written for a cool blog called Pardon the Dog Hair, and there are a lot of recipes on this site that look like they would adapt really well to the griddle. Even serious griddlers cook a few things in the house though, so you should visit and try all of them. The complexity of flavors in this recipe were a surprise - the corn, serrano pepper, cilantro and garlic all come through, and you...
