The Morning Maple-Stack
Crafted with malted milk and embedded maple nuggets, these thick, syrup-infused cakes serve as the foundation for a robust morning tower. Layered with seared spicy pork, a melty cheese slice, and a perfectly folded egg, this handheld feast is wrapped tightly to steam into a tender, unified stack that captures the essence of a classic drive-thru favorite.

Instructions
Prep
-
Whisk all dry ingredients. In a separate bowl beat together milk, yolks, and extract.
-
Stir together with dry ingredients and let it rest for 10 minutes while you prep the meat.
-
Shape your four 2.0 oz patties. Make them slightly wider than your rings (about 4 inches).
Cook
-
Heat a 12" skillet to medium-high. Add sausage patties. Cook for 3โ4 minutes per side until browned and 160ยฐF internal. Pro-tip: Leave a light sheen of the sausage fat in the pan for the eggs. Remove sausage to a plate and keep warm.
-
In the same skillet, pour your whisked eggs to form a thin, flat layer. Once set (about 90 seconds), fold the edges toward the center to form a square. Cut into 4 equal portions. Set aside.
Buns
-
Spray your rings with pan spray and heat on a griddle at medium-low.
-
Pour 1/4 inch of batter into each ring.
-
Drop 1 tbsp of nuggets into the center.
-
"Cap" with a final spoonful of batter to hide the nuggets.
-
Flip when bubbles stay open (approx. 3-4 mins), cook 90 seconds more.
Assembly
-
Build: On your bottom bun (bottom side up), stack:
-
Hot Sausage Patty
-
American Cheese Slice
-
Folded Egg Square
-
Top Bun (bottom side down)
Note
Chef's Tip: : Immediately wrap each sandwich in a foil square. Let them sit for 60 seconds. This is the non-negotiable step that turns your hotcakes into a "McGriddle" by softening the crust and bonding the cheese to the egg.
