Equipment Required

• Saucepan: This will be handy for caramelizing the maple syrup and cooking the omelet.
• Frying Pan: I recommend utilizing a non-stick frying pan to cook your pancake and eggs.
• Mixing Bowls: You’ll need two bowls—one for mixing the griddle cake batter and the other for beating the eggs.
• Oven: To bake the bacon to perfection.
• Whisk or Spoon: Pick a whisk or a spoon to mix your McGriddle batter just as you like it. I prefer a whisk for achieving that perfect consistency.
• Cookie Shaper: I suggest using a cookie shaper/cutter to shape your McGriddle pancakes into perfect, uniform rounds.
• Spatula: My go-to for easy flipping the McGriddle pancakes is using a trusty spatula, as it ensures they cook evenly on both sides.

Recipe Variations For Different Diets

1. Dairy-Free Diet: Those with lactose intolerance need to substitute the butter added to this recipe with plant-based butter.

Storing And Reheating This Recipe

Storing –

1. In the Refrigerator: To store McDonald’s McGriddles, wrap them individually in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
2. In The Freezer: Based on my experience, you can store McDonald’s McGriddles by freezing them in a single layer on a baking sheet and then transferring them to a freezer bag or airtight container. They’ll keep well for 1-2 months.

Reheating –

1. Microwave: Remove the McGriddle from the refrigerator or freezer and place it in the microwave at the highest heat setting for 20-30 seconds until warm.
