Ingredients
Scale
Pancakes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk (or alternative)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (plus extra for serving)
Fillings
- 4 sausage patties or bacon strips
- Cheese slices (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt to create the dry base for the pancakes.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk and large egg until smooth, ensuring the mixture is well blended.
- Make the Batter: Gently combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring carefully to preserve some lumps for a fluffy texture. Then fold in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to infuse the batter with a distinctive sweet flavor.
- Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Cook Sausage or Bacon: In a separate pan, cook the sausage patties or bacon strips over medium heat until browned and cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes per side.
- Assemble McGriddles: Place one pancake on a serving plate, add your cooked sausage or bacon on top, then add a slice of cheese if using. Finish by topping with another pancake to create a sandwich.
Notes
- You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative like almond or oat milk.
- For extra sweetness, drizzle additional maple syrup on the finished McGriddles.
- Cheese is optional but adds a creamy texture and savory flavor contrast.
- Adjust cooking times slightly depending on your stove or skillet for best results.
