Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pancake mix (like Bisquick)
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 4 large eggs (for assembly)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 4 slices American cheese
- 8 strips crispy bacon or 4 sausage patties
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together pancake mix, milk, one egg, vegetable oil, and maple syrup until just combined. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it lightly. Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter into ring molds to form uniform pancakes; cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.

- Assemble each McGriddle with a pancake base, cheese slice, cooked egg, bacon or sausage patty, and top with another pancake.
