Ingredients You Will Need:

This Mcgriddle recipe is so simple to make at home using just a handful of ingredients. (Full ingredient amounts listed in the recipe box below).

• Pancake Mix – This will be used to make your “buns” for the griddles. Feel free to use store-bought pancake mix or make our super easy homemade pancake mix recipe.
• Syrup – maple syrup will be injected into the pancakes.
• Sausage Patties – Pork sausage will be used to build the sandwiches. Feel free to change out the protein with crispy bacon, use chicken patties for a chicken McGriddle, or turkey sausage.
• Eggs – Be sure to use eggs at room temperature. Add in chopped veggies or extra cheese if you prefer for a change.
• Cheese – You will need American cheese for this recipe.
• Salt and Pepper

How to Make a McGriddle

• Combine the pancake mix with water.
• Place a mason jar ring into a skillet, grease the pan with cooking spray and set to medium heat.
• Pour the pancake batter into the mason jar ring and cook until bubbles begin to form at about the 60-second mark. Remove the ring with tongs and turn over the pancake to finish cooking the other side.
• Continue with the rest of the pancake mix or just about 7 more pancakes.
• Inject the syrup into the finished griddle cakes using a kitchen syringe when the pancakes are cool. (Doing this will mimic the Mcgriddle without it burning).

• Cook the patties in the skillet on medium heat for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
• Take off the skillet and place a slice of cheese on top.
• Whisk the eggs into a bowl with salt and pepper.
• Cook the egg mixture at medium heat and pour into the skillet and let it spread out to fit the whole bottom of the pan.
• When the egg is cooked after 30 seconds, fold two times into a square-like shape to fit the sandwich.

• Build your sandwich with all of the cooked ingredients.
• Serve and Enjoy!

Storing and Freezing Homemade McGriddleSandwiches

Mcgriddle’s are best served almost immediately after making for the best results of taste and texture. Having a warm and fresh sandwich will always be the better way to go. However, you can store these sandwiches in an airtight Ziploc bag (or airtight container) in the refrigerator.

Freezing: Homemade McGriddles freeze really well. Wrap the sandwiches individually, place them into the freezerand just reheat for the best on-the-go breakfast sandwiches.

How to Reheat a Breakfast Sandwich

You will want to reheat these when stored in the fridge, but also make sure you do not burn them. I would recommend defrosting them in the microwave at first. Then, wrap the sandwiches in a paper towel to allow the heat and moisture to cook the sandwich perfectly.
