Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 4 slices of cooked bacon or sausage patties
- 2 slices American cheese
- Maple syrup for drizzling
Instructions
Begin by combining your dry ingredients in a mixing bowl: flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt. This mix is the foundation of your pancakes, giving them that fluffy texture. In another bowl, whisk together your wet ingredients—milk, eggs, and melted butter. Then slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; it’s okay if a few lumps remain! This will ensure your pancakes are light and airy.
Now, let’s add a bit of magic to your pancake batter! Stir in your maple syrup, infusing those pancakes with a sweet, aromatic kick. The aroma alone will have you dreaming of cozy breakfasts. You might even find yourself tasting a drop or two—just to make sure it’s perfect.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, adding a small amount of cooking spray or butter to coat the surface. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. As the pancakes start to bubble on the top, it’s time to flip! Cook them until both sides are golden brown. This is where the magic comes alive—the sweet scent of cooking pancakes fills the kitchen, and you might find yourself tapping your foot in anticipation!
Next up, it’s time for the savory component. Cook your sausage patties in the same skillet, ensuring they get nicely browned on both sides. As they sizzle, the rich aroma will balance perfectly with the sweet pancakes. Just like the professionals, you can press them gently with a spatula for an even cook.
Now for the star of the show—the assembly! Take one pancake and place a sausage patty on top, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese. Top it off with another pancake, creating a delightful sandwich. The sight of these mouthwatering stacks will surely be Instagram-worthy—don’t forget to capture the moment!
For the final touch, drizzle some warm maple syrup over your assembled McGriddles. Each bite promises a delicious blend of sweet and savory. Dive in and savor the experience!
Notes
Experiment with flavor! You can easily add berries or chocolate chips into the pancake batter for a twist. If you love a hint of spice, consider adding some cinnamon to the mix. You can also customize the McGriddle with different proteins such as bacon or even eggs. Get creative and make it your own!
