The Secret Ingredient: Maple Syrup Crystals

One of the key ingredients that make McDonald’s McGriddles so irresistible is the maple syrup crystals.

These super tasty crystals add a burst of flavor to your pancakes and take this recipe to the next level.

Making the McGriddles – Step by Step

Step 1: Prepare and Cook

Before you begin, make sure you have all the ingredients ready. Start by boiling the maple syrup for about 10 minutes until it thickens. Set it aside to cool and break it into crystals. While the syrup is cooling, fry up some fluffy pancakes.

Step 2: Assemble the Delicious Layers

Once the pancakes are ready, it’s time to assemble the McGriddles. Start by sprinkling some homemade maple syrup crystals on a pancake. Then, add a perfectly fried egg on top. If you prefer your egg fried in a pan or microwaved, go ahead and prepare it to your liking.

Step 3: Add the Tasty Toppings

To make your McGriddle extra delectable, add a slice of American cheese on top of the egg. Finally, place a strip of crispy fried bacon on the cheese, and cover it all with another pancake. Now, your Homemade McDonald’s McGriddles are ready to be served and enjoyed!
