Homemade McGriddle 

Ready to enjoy that sweet-and-savory McDonald’s McGriddle magic at home? This easy homemade version uses fluffy, maple-infused pancake "buns" wrapped around savory eggs, melty cheese, and your choice of crispy bacon or sausage. Infusing the maple flavor into the batter—not just drizzling it on top—ensures each bite delivers that signature taste. It’s a cost-saving, customizable breakfast that comes together in about 25 minutes for a delightful, restaurant-quality experience in your kitchen. 

Ingredients
For the Pancake Buns:

• 1 cup pancake mix (e.g., Bisquick or favorite brand)
  
  

• ¾ cup milk
  
  

• 1 large egg
  
  

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  
  

• 3 tablespoons maple syrup (plus extra for serving)
  
  

• Optional: 2 tablespoons maple sugar or brown sugar for extra maple flavor
  
  

For the Fillings (per 4 sandwiches):

• 4 large eggs
  
  

• Salt and pepper, to taste
  
  

• 4 slices American cheese (or preferred cheese)
  
  

• Choice of:
  
  

  • 8 strips bacon (cooked until crispy), or
    
    

  • 4 sausage patties (cooked through)
    
    

Equipment:

• Nonstick skillet or griddle
  
  

• 3.5-inch cookie cutter or mason jar ring (for pancake shape)
  
  

• Spatula, mixing bowl, whisk, measuring tools
  
  

Directions

1. Whisk together pancake mix, milk, egg, and vegetable oil until just combined. Fold in maple syrup (and maple/brown sugar, if using). Let batter rest 5 minutes.
   
   

2. Heat skillet or griddle to medium, lightly grease. Place ring mold and pour about 3 tablespoons batter inside. Cook until bubbles form (~2–3 min), remove mold, flip, and cook until golden (~1–2 min). Make 8 pancakes.
   
   

3. Using the ring, cook eggs one at a time: crack egg inside, season, cover with a lid and cook until set (~1–2 min), flip if desired.
   
   

4. Cook bacon until crispy or heat sausage patties until cooked through.
   
   

5. Assemble: place cheese on a pancake while warm, add egg, then bacon strips or sausage patty, then top with another pancake. Drizzle with maple syrup if you like.
   
   

6. Serve immediately or store for later enjoying.
