Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 Egg for batter
• 1 tablespoon Cooking oil or butter for frying
• 4 Eggs for sandwich
• 4 American cheese slices
• 8 Bacon strips
• 0 to taste Salt and pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the pancake batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, maple syrup, and 1 egg for the batter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 3

Preheat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease with cooking oil or butter.

Step 4

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, forming a round shape. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove pancakes and set aside.

Step 6

While pancakes are cooking, fry the bacon strips in a separate pan over medium heat until crispy, about 4-6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 7

In the same pan used for bacon, discard excess grease leaving a thin layer. Crack the other 4 eggs and cook them to the desired doneness (over easy, sunny side up, or well done). Season with salt and pepper.

Step 8

To assemble each McGriddle, layer an American cheese slice on one pancake, followed by 2 strips of bacon, and a cooked egg. Top with another pancake to sandwich the fillings.

Step 9

Serve the bacon egg and cheese McGriddles warm and enjoy!
