Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-Free Pancake Mix
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 slices Bacon
- 4 slices Cheddar Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free pancake mix, baking powder, milk, 1 egg, and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake, making four total. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter. Set aside pancakes.
In the same skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Wipe out the skillet and return it to the stove on medium heat. Add a small amount of butter.
Crack the remaining 3 eggs into the skillet and sprinkle with salt. Cook to your preference, flipping if desired for over-easy. Remove from heat.
Assemble the McGriddles by placing a pancake on the bottom, a slice of cheddar cheese, 2 slices of bacon, 1 cooked egg, and another slice of cheese. Top with another pancake.
Heat the assembled McGriddles briefly in the hot skillet to melt the cheese, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Serve the McGriddles warm with more maple syrup on the side, if desired.
