Ingredients
For the Pancake Buns:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 egg
¾ cup milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup (plus extra for drizzling)
For the Filling:
4 breakfast sausage patties or 4 slices of bacon
4 slices American cheese
4 eggs
Butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Pancake Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the egg, milk, melted butter, and maple syrup. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
Lightly grease a skillet or griddle with butter or oil and heat over medium-low heat.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, aiming for 3–4 inch rounds. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2–3 minutes).
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat until you have 8 mini pancakes (4 top buns and 4 bottom buns). Keep them warm in a low oven while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Step 3: Cook the Sausage or Bacon
In a separate skillet, cook the breakfast sausage patties or bacon until fully cooked and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 4: Fry the Eggs
In the same skillet (wipe it clean if needed), add a little butter or oil. Crack an egg into the skillet or use an egg ring for perfectly round eggs. Fry to your desired doneness (sunny-side-up, over-easy, or scrambled). Repeat for all 4 eggs.
Step 5: Assemble the McGriddles
Place one pancake bun on a plate. Top it with a cooked sausage patty or slice of bacon, a slice of American cheese, and a fried egg.
Place another pancake bun on top to complete the sandwich.
Drizzle with additional maple syrup if desired, or serve the syrup on the side for dipping.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the homemade McGriddles hot with a side of hash browns, fresh fruit, or coffee for a full breakfast experience. Enjoy the sweet and savory goodness!
Pro Tips
Pancake Size: Use a cookie cutter or small lid as a guide to ensure your pancakes are uniform in size.
Maple Flavor Boost: Add an extra drizzle of maple syrup to the batter or serve with warmed syrup for maximum flavor.
Cheese Melting Hack: Place the assembled sandwiches back in a warm oven for 1–2 minutes to melt the cheese further.
Make Ahead: Cook the pancakes and sausage patties ahead of time. Reheat them in a skillet or microwave before assembling.
