Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Mix: Enough for about 12 small pancakes
Water or Milk: As required by the pancake mix instructions
6 Sausage Patties: Pre-cooked or cook according to package instructions
6 Eggs: Scrambled or fried to preference
6 Slices of American Cheese: Kraft or similar
Maple Syrup: For serving

Instructions

Prepare Pancakes: Follow the instructions on your pancake mix to prepare the batter. Pour small amounts onto a hot griddle or pan to make pancakes about the size of your sausage patties. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown. You’ll need two pancakes per McGriddle, so plan for at least 12 pancakes.
Cook Sausage Patties: If not using pre-cooked patties, cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until thoroughly cooked and browned. Set aside and keep warm.
Prepare Eggs: Beat the eggs and pour into a skillet over medium heat, stirring until scrambled and fully cooked. For fried eggs, crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble McGriddles: Place a slice of cheese on a pancake, add a sausage patty, then top with scrambled or fried egg. Cover with another pancake. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make six McGriddle sandwiches.
Serve: Serve the Homemade McGriddles warm with maple syrup for dipping.
