4 large eggs
10 -
4 slices of cheese
11 -
4 cooked bacon slices or sausage patties
# Instructions:
01 -
Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add milk, vanilla extract, melted butter, and 1 egg; mix until smooth. The batter will be thick.
02 -
Heat an electric griddle or pan over medium-low heat and spray with cooking spray. Spray the inside of a metal biscuit cutter with non-stick spray and place it in the pan. Scoop the batter into the biscuit cutter, add 2 teaspoons of maple syrup into the center, and use a toothpick to lightly mix it. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Carefully remove the cutter, flip the pancake, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.
03 -
While pancakes are cooking, cook bacon slices or sausage patties in a separate frying pan.
04 -
Once pancakes are cooked, place them on a dish and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
05 -
Clean the biscuit cutter and spray it again with cooking spray. Heat a skillet to medium heat and drop an egg into the center of the cutter. Add a pinch of salt and cook until the sides are slightly set, about 2 minutes. Remove the cutter carefully, flip the egg, and cook the other side. Repeat for all 4 eggs.
06 -
To assemble, place a pancake on a plate. Top with a slice of cheese, cooked egg, bacon or sausage, and another pancake. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
The pancake buns can be frozen for up to 1 month. Layer pancakes with waxed paper and store in a freezer bag or airtight container.
02 -
To reheat frozen pancakes, place them in a toaster or toaster oven until warm.
03 -
For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free milk, replace butter with vegetable oil, and omit cheese.
04 -
You can use a mason jar lid or ring mold instead of a biscuit cutter.
