Ingredients
Scale
- 4 sausage patties (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices American cheese
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (180 ml) buttermilk
- 2 tbsps maple syrup
- 2 tbsps butter (for cooking)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Dry Mixture Preparation: Thoroughly blend flour, sugar, leavening agents, and seasoning in a large mixing bowl.
- Liquid Integration: Whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and maple syrup until achieving a smooth, homogeneous consistency.
- Batter Creation: Delicately combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring minimally to prevent gluten development, allowing natural ingredient fusion.
- Pancake Muffin Cooking: Heat nonstick surface to medium temperature, lightly greased. Pour batter to form circular pancake muffins, monitoring for surface bubble formation. Flip when edges set and bottom turns golden brown, cooking until evenly colored and fully cooked.
- Protein Preparation: Sear sausage patties in the same pan, developing a caramelized exterior and ensuring complete internal cooking. Keep warm and covered.
- Egg Crafting: Crack eggs into a seasoned pan, shaping into circular forms matching sandwich dimensions. Cook until desired doneness is achieved.
- Sandwich Assembly: Layer first pancake muffin as base, top with sausage patty, precisely positioned egg, and melted cheese slice. Complete with second pancake muffin.
- Serving Recommendation: Serve immediately while ingredients maintain optimal temperature, offering maple syrup as an optional flavor enhancer.
Notes
- Minimize Batter Mixing: Gentle stirring prevents tough, dense muffins by avoiding gluten development. Overmixing causes rubbery texture and dense consistency.
- Manage Heat Precisely: Control cooking temperature around medium-low to prevent burning. Uneven heat creates inconsistent browning and undercooked centers.
- Perfect Egg Shaping: Use circular cooking ring or small pan to create uniform egg shapes matching sandwich dimensions. Consistent sizing ensures balanced sandwich assembly.
- Customize Dietary Options: Substitute gluten-free flour for standard flour, use plant-based cheese and sausage alternatives, and replace buttermilk with dairy-free milk for dietary adaptations. Experiment with ingredient swaps to accommodate different nutritional needs.
