Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy 5-Minute McGriddle
  1. Prepare Pancake Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, milk, egg, and vegetable oil, whisking until smooth. Fold in maple syrup and allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
  2. Cook Pancake "Buns": Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, grease lightly, and pour batter to form pancakes using a ring mold. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  3. Cook Eggs: In the same skillet, place the ring mold and pour a beaten egg inside. Cook for 1-4 minutes based on doneness. Lift the mold and slide the egg onto a plate.
  4. Cook/Prepare Meat: Cook bacon until crispy (3-4 minutes per side) or heat sausage until hot. Watch bacon for crispy edges!
  5. Assemble McGriddles: Layer cheese on one pancake, add egg and bacon or sausage. Top with another pancake and brush with warmed maple syrup if desired.
  6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your warm McGriddles right after assembly, with sides like hash browns or fresh fruit.
