Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 4 breakfast sausage patties
• 4 slices American cheese
• 4 large eggs
• Butter for cooking

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and maple syrup until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
6. In a separate skillet, cook the sausage patties over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
7. In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook to your desired doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper.
8. To assemble, place one pancake on a plate, top with a sausage patty, a slice of cheese, a cooked egg, and another pancake on top.
9. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade McGriddles!
