Ingredients
  

For the Pancake Batter:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

2 tbsp melted butter

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Sandwich Fillings:

4 oz breakfast sausage (cooked and crumbled)

4 slices cheddar cheese

2 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions
 

Prepare Pancake Batter:

    In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined (a few lumps are okay).

      Cook Pancakes:

        Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each mini pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Repeat until all batter is cooked. You should have around 12 mini pancakes.

          Assemble Mini McGriddle Bites:

            Take one mini pancake, place a small amount of crumbled sausage on top, add a piece of cheddar cheese, and drizzle a bit of maple syrup. Top with another mini pancake to create a sandwich. If desired, add cooked bacon for extra flavor.

              Serve:

                Arrange your Mini McGriddle Bites on a platter and serve warm with a drizzle of additional maple syrup for dipping.
