4 large eggs
10 -
4 slices of cheese
11 -
4 cooked bacon slices or sausage patties
# Instructions:
01 -
Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add milk, vanilla extract, melted butter, and 1 egg; mix until smooth to form a thick pancake batter.
02 -
Heat an electric griddle or pan over medium-low heat and coat with cooking spray. Spray the inside of a metal biscuit cutter with non-stick spray and place it in the pan. Using an ice cream scoop, pour batter into the biscuit cutter.
03 -
Add about 2 teaspoons of maple syrup to the center of each pancake and use a toothpick to lightly swirl it into the batter while cooking.
04 -
Cook until bubbles form and edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Carefully remove the biscuit cutter and gently flip the pancake. Cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.
05 -
While pancakes are cooking, prepare bacon slices or sausage patties in a separate frying pan.
06 -
Place cooked pancakes on a dish and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
07 -
Clean the biscuit cutter and spray the inside again with cooking spray. Heat a large skillet to medium heat and drop an egg into the center of the biscuit cutter. Season with a pinch of salt. Cook until sides are slightly set, about 2 minutes. Repeat for all 4 eggs.
08 -
Gently remove the biscuit cutter and carefully flip each egg. Cook until desired doneness on the other side.
09 -
Assemble your homemade McGriddle by topping one pancake with a slice of cheese, cooked egg, and bacon or sausage. Top with a second pancake to complete the sandwich.
# Notes:
01 -
For a more authentic McGriddle experience, make sure the maple syrup pockets are evenly distributed throughout the pancakes.
