Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 4 pieces Vegetarian bacon
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This will be the dry ingredients for your pancakes.
In another bowl, whisk together 1 egg and the milk. Add the maple syrup and stir to combine.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with a portion of the vegetable oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter into the skillet to form a small pancake. Repeat to make more pancakes. Cook each pancake for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.
In a separate pan, cook the vegetarian bacon according to the package instructions until crispy. Remove and set aside.
Wipe the pan, then add butter and melt over medium heat. Beat the remaining 2 eggs and pour them into the pan. Scramble gently until just set and cooked through.
To assemble the McGriddle, place one pancake on a plate. Layer with a slice of vegetarian bacon, some scrambled eggs, and a slice of cheddar cheese. Top with another pancake to form a sandwich.
Repeat for the second serving. Serve warm and enjoy your Vegetarian Bacon Egg and Cheese McGriddle.
