1 teaspoon baking powder
04 -
¼ teaspoon salt

¾ cup milk

→ For the Filling
10 -
4 eggs
11 -
4 slices of cheese (cheddar or American)
12 -
4 beef sausage patties
13 -
4 slices of turkey ham
14 -
1 tablespoon butter for cooking
# Steps:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, vanilla extract, melted butter, and maple syrup. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. A few lumps are acceptable—overmixing will result in dense pancakes.
02 -
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour small rounds of batter (approximately 7-8 cm wide) onto the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute until golden brown. Continue until you have 8 mini pancakes. Set aside.
03 -
Using the same skillet, cook the beef sausage patties over medium heat until thoroughly browned. Set aside. Warm the turkey ham slices for 30 seconds per side to enhance texture and flavor.
04 -
Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Melt butter in a non-stick pan and pour in the eggs. Cook in a flat, even layer, similar to an omelet. Once set, fold and cut into portions that match the size of your pancakes.
05 -
Place one pancake on a plate, top with a cheese slice, sausage patty, folded egg, and turkey ham. Complete with a second pancake. Gently press to bring all layers together, allowing the cheese to begin melting.
06 -
Serve warm. For additional sweetness, drizzle a small amount of maple syrup over the top before serving.
# Notes:
