Ingredients

• 1 cup Pancake mix
• 2/3 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 4 ounces Ground breakfast sausage
• 2 Bacon slices
• 1 Egg
• 1 American cheese slice
• 2 teaspoons Butter
• 1 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, prepare the pancake batter by combining 1 cup pancake mix with 2/3 cup milk, as per package instructions or your preferred recipe.

Step 2

Stir 2 tablespoons of maple syrup into the pancake batter to infuse it with sweetness.

Step 3

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 4

Pour small circles of pancake batter (approximately 3 inches in diameter) onto the skillet to form the pancake buns. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown, then set aside.

Step 5

Shape the ground breakfast sausage into one round patty about the size of the pancake buns.

Step 6

In the same skillet, cook the sausage patty over medium heat until browned and fully cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, cook 2 bacon slices until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 8

Using butter (or additional cooking spray) in the skillet, fry one egg to your preferred doneness (e.g., sunny-side-up or over-easy). Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 9

Assemble the sandwich: Start with one pancake bun as the base. Layer on the sausage patty, followed by the bacon slices, the fried egg, and one slice of American cheese.

Step 10

Top with the second pancake bun and press gently to hold everything in place.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Mock McGriddle!
