After perusing recipes on the internet, I did what I always do and made up my own. Here is my first attempt at homemade McGriddles.
Here is what you will need:
Ingredients for your favorite pancake recipe
Breakfast syrup
Bacon or sausage
Eggs
Cheese of choice
I am not including quantities as I figure you can decide how much bacon or how many eggs your family will eat. I have a large family, our quantities may differ from yours.
I started with a basic pancake recipe. My favorite is this one from Allrecipes but I didn't have vinegar so I used an older one from my Betty Crocker cookbook.
After preparing the recipe, I put a small amount on the griddle. I actually had rather large ones, keep in mind it might spread, I recommend going slightly smaller than you think you will want. I only put four on my griddle so that I could have time for the second step: syrup.
I put about a tablespoon of syrup on top of the pancake batter and swirled it around, then used a fork to "mix" it lightly in. There was not quite as much syrup as I would have liked in the first batch, so when I made a few extras for the kids to munch on I put an extra dab of syrup on top after the syrup that I mixed in.
I cooked the pancakes as normal and made bacon and eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese. I allowed the kids to choose whether they had eggs and cheese, but all wanted the bacon, of course!
They were a little sticky, but not too bad. They were quite yummy and very filling. I didn't get any pictures because we were all too hungry and anxious to try them. When I make them again, I will try to get some pictures to go with it. Happy Eating!
(The kids have requested these as a before church breakfast. I am going to try precooking the pancakes and bacon and putting them in the fridge so that we can have a fast breakfast for early mornings. I'll let you know!)
