Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 Egg
• 3 Vegetarian sausage patties
• 3 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 3 Cheddar cheese slices

Directions

Step 1

To make the pancake batter, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, maple syrup, vegetable oil, and the egg. Whisk until well mixed.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Some lumps are okay.

Step 4

Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Spoon 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet to form a round pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter to make 6 pancakes.

Step 6

In another non-stick skillet, cook the vegetarian sausage patties according to package instructions. Set them aside.

Step 7

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt the butter in a clean skillet over medium heat.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until scrambled and fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 9

To assemble each sandwich, place one pancake on a plate. Top with a vegetarian sausage patty, some scrambled eggs, a slice of cheddar cheese, and another pancake. Repeat to make two more sandwiches.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Vegetarian Sausage Egg and Cheese McGriddles.
