This Homemade McGriddle recipe recreates the beloved fast-food breakfast sandwich at home, featuring soft and fluffy maple-infused pancakes, savory sausage or bacon, and melted cheese, layered together for a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.

Ingredients

Batter Ingredients

  • 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)

Protein and Filling

  • 4 sausage patties or bacon strips
  • Cheese slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. This mixture forms the base for your pancake batter.
  2. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk and egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gently combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring just until incorporated; it’s okay if there are a few lumps as this keeps the pancakes tender.
  4. Add Maple Syrup: Fold in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup into the batter to give your pancakes that classic sweet and signature flavor.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, approximately 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Cook Protein: In another pan, cook the sausage patties or bacon strips over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side depending on thickness.
  7. Assemble McGriddles: Start with one pancake as the base, layer with a sausage patty or bacon strips, add a slice of cheese if desired, and top with another pancake to form a sandwich. Serve warm with extra maple syrup for drizzling.

Notes

  • Use maple syrup both in the batter and for serving to enhance the sweet-savory balance.
  • Substitute whole milk with any milk alternative like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Cheese slices are optional but add a creamy texture and additional flavor.
  • Cook the sausage or bacon thoroughly for food safety and best taste.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
