If you’re a fan of fast food breakfast sandwiches, you’ve likely tried the iconic McGriddle from McDonald’s. This delicious breakfast item features a savory sausage patty, cheese, and egg sandwiched between two sweet, maple-infused pancake buns. While it’s a tasty treat to indulge in occasionally, it’s also fun and easy to recreate this beloved breakfast at home with a homemade pancake mix.

Making your own McGriddle-style breakfast sandwich at home allows you to control the quality of ingredients and customize the flavors to your liking. Plus, it’s a great way to enjoy a delicious breakfast without having to leave the comfort of your home. So, if you’re interested in trying your hand at making homemade McGriddle, here’s an easy pancake mix recipe to get you started.

Ingredients:

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 1/2 cups milk
– 2 eggs
– 1/4 cup vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon maple extract (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and maple extract (if using). Mix until all the wet ingredients are well combined.

3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Gently stir the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.

4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

5. Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to look set, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.

6. Once all the pancakes are cooked, you can assemble your McGriddle sandwiches by layering a cooked sausage patty, a slice of cheese, and a scrambled egg between two pancakes.

7. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade McGriddle!

With this simple pancake mix recipe, you can easily recreate the magic of a McGriddle at home. Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the pancakes to your liking by adding more or less sugar, or even experimenting with different extracts for extra flavor. In no time at all, you’ll have a delicious breakfast that rivals the fast food original. So, why not give it a try and treat yourself to a homemade McGriddle? Your taste buds will thank you!
