Mock Mcgriddle

Submitted by Michelle_My_Belle

"I love love love the Mc Griddle, but no recipe even came close! The secret apparently is Maple Syrup crystals which can be made using Recipe #348532 or using this recipe. I cannot take credit for the pancake recipe - its my favorite Recipe #25690"

Oh My Goodness. You have made the worlds happiest 8 yr old ever. This is his favorite thing but A. I don't own Mcdonalds so I can't afford him eating it that often and B its WAY better for him if we make them at home. I am going to make a bunch up and freeze them. Thanks for adding the maple crystal link ( very important according to my 8 yr old LOL)

My kids absolutly loved this. Who need mcDonalds. We like sausage, so we made ours with sausage patties and there wasn't a drop left. I am thinking of making a bunch of these up to freeze for school days. i will let y ou all know how that goes. Thanks Michelle.

Five stars plus! I used a small 4-in fry pan to prepare everything, used American cheese rather than cheddar, and recipe#348532 for the crystals. Since I know this is one destined to be repeated often I think it is well worth the investment of purchasing the crystals from the King Arthur site but I've only found the regual crystals and not the maple sugar ones. I will stop in and thank Ellen Brody for her pancake recipe since it is such a light-as-a-feather pancake. This recipe is a success story. TFS. Made for New Kids on the Block, a tag game.

I have never had these at McDonald's but they were good. I made sausage patties and I used raw sugar for the maple crystals, served a little syrup on the side.

Very good! I haven't ever had the McDonald's version of this, but this is delicious. I will make again! Thanks for sharing.
