Servings 4 Mcgriddles
Ingredients
- 4 breakfast sausage patties
Egg Mixture-
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
Pancakes- **
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Pinch salt
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 Tbsp melted & cooled unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp butter for greasing
Optional-
- 4 slices American cheese
- 4 pieces cooked bacon optional
- maple syrup for drizzle
Instructions
Sausage Patties-
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the sausage patties to the skillet and cook, flipping halfway, for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the patties are fully cooked through.
- Cook the bacon to your desired level of crispiness using your preferred method (skillet, oven, or air fryer). Set aside.
- Cut the bacon slices in half, giving you 8 slices of bacon.
Scrambled Eggs-
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, ground black pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium low heat and lightly grease butter or oil. (You can use the skillet that you cooked the sausage in and use the leftover grease.)
- Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet and spread it out evenly.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the egg starts to solidify.
- Once the eggs are cooked, use a spatula to divide the egg into two halves. Fold each half towards the center to create two even squares.
- Remove the egg squares from the skillet and top each with a slice of cheese. Set aside.
- Repeat the same process with the remaining egg mixture to create a second batch of two egg squares.
Pancakes-
- Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla and cooled melted butter.
- Pour the wet batter into the dry ingredients and whisk just enough to combine. (Do not overmix, it’s okay if there are lumps.)
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, pour the batter into 4 even sized pancakes. (You can use pancake mold or mason jar rings to ensure uniform shape if desired.)
- Cook the pancakes on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the pancake begins to bubble and create holes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet. Repeat to make another batch of 4 pancakes.
Assemble McGriddles-
- Take four of the pancakes and place them on a flat surface or plate.
- On top of each pancake, layer a sausage patty, one of the cheesy egg squares, and two half pieces of bacon.
- Top each sandwich with another pancake to complete the McGriddle stack.
- Serve immediately while the sandwiches are warm. Optionally, drizzle with maple syrup for an added sweet touch.
Notes
**You can skip the homemade pancakes and just make pancakes from pancake mix!
