Ingredients

  • 4 frozen sausage patties or homemade
  • 4 slices american cheese

Pancakes: Pancake mix + ingredients called for on the box OR

  • 1 cups all-purpose flour
  • tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Egg:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons cream or milk
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the sausage patties according to the package directions.
  • Move to a baking tray to the oven set at the lowest temperature to keep warm.

Pancakes:

  • If using box mix, follow the directions on the box until the batter is formed.

For homemade:

  • Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla in a large measuring cup. Whisk with a fork to combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until the batter is just combined.
  • Add the melted butter and gently stir into the batter until incorporated.
  • Let the batter sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Heat a skillet over low/medium heat. Grease with butter and spoon 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake.
  • Drizzle the top of each pancake with 2 teaspoons of syrup.
  • Cook until bubbles start to form on the top and the edges begin to curl, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Repeat with remaining batter.

Folded Egg:

  • Whisk the egg, cream, and salt and pepper in a large measuring cup.
  • Heat a medium sized skillet over low heat. Add 1 teaspoon of butter and spread to coat the pan.
  • Pour 1/4 of the egg mixture into the heated pan, swirling to make sure it covers the entire bottom of the pan.
  • Cover and cook 1 minute, or until the egg begins to set.
  • Fold the egg over in half and then in half again, creating the folded egg.

Assemble:

  • Place a pancake onto a plate.
  • Top with a single slice of cheese, sausage patty, egg, and top with a second pancake.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can make this with bacon instead of sausage.
  • Add additional maple syrup for a bolder flavor.
  • You can skip the maple syrup and add 1/8 teaspoon of maple extract to the pancake batter.
