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.
