Classic McGriddles

I grew up eating Mcgriddle's from McDonald's every weekend! I was obsessed with them! I recently made them at home and they taste just as good.

Equipment

  • Biscuit cutter
  • skillet
  • spatula

Ingredients

Buttermilk Pancake Mix

  • 1 & 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 & 1/4 cups buttermilk room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • nonstick spray or more butter for cooking
  • 4 tablespoons syrup

Fillings

  • Sausage or Crispy Bacon
  • Yellow American Cheese
  • 4 Eggs I used 1 egg for each sandwich

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk well and then set it aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the flour mixture to the buttermilk mixture and mix until well combined but don't overmix. It's okay if the batter is a bit lumpy.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle until hot. Add about 1 tbsp of butter to the skillet and swirl it around and grease your biscuit cutters.
  • Pour the batter into the greases biscuit cutters in 1/4 cup measurements. Drizzle one tablespoon of syrup to each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes then flip, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 3 minutes.
  • To prepare the McGriddle, place a slice of cheese, cooked egg, and bacon or sausage on one pancake. Then, place the other pancake on top. Serve with syrup on the side, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Since the pancakes are small and thick, cook them on low heat for at least 2-3 minutes on each side. If not, the inside will remain raw.
  • Serve with maple syrup on the side!
