McGriddle Pancakes Breakfast Sandwich

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup milk

• 1 egg

• 1 tablespoon melted butter

• 2 slices American cheese

• 2 slices bacon or sausage

• 1 egg, fried

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.

3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.

4. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.

5. Add a small amount of butter or oil to the griddle.

6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.

7. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

8. While the pancakes are cooking, cook the bacon or sausage.

9. To assemble the sandwich, place a pancake on a plate.

10. Top with a slice of cheese, bacon or sausage, and a fried egg.

11. Top with another pancake and drizzle with maple syrup.

12. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

• For a sweeter sandwich, add a little more sugar to the batter.

• For a savory sandwich, add some chopped onions or peppers to the batter.

• To make the sandwich ahead of time, assemble it without the maple syrup. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to eat, heat the sandwich in a toaster oven or on a griddle until the cheese is melted and the pancake is warm.

Variations:

• Instead of American cheese, use your favorite type of cheese.

• Instead of bacon or sausage, use ham, turkey, or tofu.

• For a vegetarian sandwich, omit the meat and add a slice of avocado.

Story:

I first had a McGriddle when I was a kid. I was at McDonald's with my family, and I was immediately drawn to the sweet, fluffy pancakes and the savory bacon and cheese. I ordered one, and I was hooked! The McGriddle is the perfect breakfast sandwich. It's sweet, savory, and satisfying.

Over the years, I've made my own McGriddles at home. I've experimented with different variations, but I always come back to the original. There's just something about the combination of the sweet pancakes and the savory bacon and cheese that I can't resist.

If you're looking for a delicious and easy breakfast sandwich to make at home, I highly recommend trying my recipe for McGriddle pancakes. It's sure to become a new favorite!
