Imagine having your version of a popular fast-food breakfast at home. These sausage McGriddles are like breakfast sandwiches, but with a twist—they’re served between fluffy pancake buns. You know those breakfast sandwiches you get from McDonald’s?
Well, this is like that, but with a soft pancake instead of regular bread. The combination of savoury sausage and the sweet pancake is just right, hitting that perfect balance between salty and sweet. Now, some of you might be turning up your noses at the idea of a fast-food breakfast, but trust me, these homemade McGriddles are just simple sandwiches at heart.
Sausage Mcgriddle Recipe
Equipment
- Two skillets
- Spatula
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup Kodiak Cakes Powercakes Mix
- 1 cup Water
- 6 Eggs
- 16 oz Breakfast sausage
- 6 slices Cheese optional
- Maple syrup optional
- Cooking spray or oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray or oil.
- Mix 1 cup of Kodiak Cakes mix with 1 cup of water. Adjust the consistency with more mix or water as needed for a thicker batter.
- Scoop the batter onto the skillet to form 3-4 inch pancakes. Cook until bubbles appear, then flip and cook for another minute or until golden brown. Repeat until all pancakes are made, spraying oil between batches.
- Form 6 sausage patties from the breakfast sausage. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Cook the sausage patties on the hot skillet until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F or are browned. Add a slice of cheese to each patty near the end of cooking to melt.
- Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Add a splash of milk if desired. Pour into a hot skillet and cook either scrambled or as an omelette. For easier assembly, cook the eggs in a “patty” shape.
- Lay out pairs of pancakes on plates. Place a sausage patty and cheese on one pancake and eggs on the other. Combine to form sandwiches. Repeat until all sandwiches are assembled.
- Drizzle maple syrup over the sandwiches if desired.
- Enjoy your homemade Sausage McGriddles!
Notes
- Aim for a thicker consistency for a sturdier McGriddle when mixing the batter. You want it to hold up well when sandwiched between the other ingredients.
- For perfectly melted cheese, add it to the sausage patties near the end of cooking. The residual heat will melt it just right.
- You can prepare the pancakes, sausage patties, and eggs ahead of time and assemble the sandwiches when ready to eat. This is great for busy mornings or meal prep.
