Use your favorite pancake mix or a scratch batter if you prefer. I’ve used both boxed mixes and homemade batter with great results. Pick maple-flavored pork sausage or a regular pork sausage roll—both work well. Once your ingredients are ready, the griddle lets you cook everything at once for a quick, satisfying breakfast.
How to make Homemade McGriddles on the Blackstone
Preheat your Blackstone or griddle and set it to low heat. Prepare pancake batter according to your recipe or mix. Cooking on a griddle outdoors makes it easy to produce several sandwiches at once, but you can replicate the process on an indoor griddle or large skillet.
Begin by cooking the pork sausage patties, as they take the longest. Early on, press or “smash” each patty slightly so it becomes thinner and fits nicely inside the sandwich. When the sausage is nearly cooked, crack the eggs onto the griddle—use egg rings if you want a neat, round shape.
Move the sausage to the side to free up space for pancakes. Spoon or pour batter onto the griddle for evenly sized pancakes—use a batter dispenser if you have one. Before flipping, drizzle a little syrup onto each pancake to get that signature sweet edge.
Assembling your Homemade McGriddles
To assemble, place one pancake down, add a cooked egg, then the smashed sausage patty, and a slice of American cheese. Top with a second pancake and press gently so everything melds together. Serve hot with extra syrup on the side for dipping if you like.
These sandwiches freeze well. If you use rolled pork sausage, you may get a different number of patties—adjust quantities based on what you have. Reheat from frozen in a skillet, oven, or toaster oven for a quick breakfast.
