1️⃣ Make the Pancake Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add egg, milk, melted butter, and maple syrup. Stir just until combined.
2️⃣ Cook the Pancakes
Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat.
Scoop small rounds of batter (3–4 inches wide) into the pan.
Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden.
You should get 8 mini pancakes.
3️⃣ Cook the Sausage or Bacon
In another skillet, cook the sausage patties or bacon until fully cooked and crispy. Set aside.

In the same skillet, cook eggs to your liking. Use an egg ring for a classic round shape if you have one.

Layer in this order on one pancake:
• Sausage or bacon
• A slice of American cheese
• A fried egg
Top with a second pancake.
6️⃣ Serve It Up
