4 cooked pork sausage patties

# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Toss your flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda into a big bowl. Give it a good mix with a whisk so everything's blended.
02 -
Crack eggs in another bowl, pour in buttermilk, and whisk them together until it's all one color.
03 -
Now grab your buttermilk and egg blend, and mix in the vanilla and the melted butter. You just want to mix till they're all friends—no need to get too fussy.
04 -
Pour the wet into the dry in your bigger bowl and gently fold with a big spoon. Don't stir until it's smooth—it's fine if you see some lumps.
05 -
Put your skillet or griddle on medium heat and let it warm before you start.
06 -
Brush a bit of oil or butter on the pan so nothing sticks while you cook.
07 -
Scoop out about 60 ml of the batter for each pancake onto your hot skillet. Leave them alone till the edges set and little bubbles show up.
08 -
Use your spatula to flip 'em, then let them go for another minute or so until they're golden and cooked through.
09 -
Move the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover them loosely. Keep making more, adding a little oil when you need it.
10 -
Pour maple syrup in a pan over low, and stir it now and then until it's warm but not bubbling.
11 -
Lay the bacon strips in a hot skillet and cook both sides until they're as crispy as you like. Put them on paper towels after.
12 -
Fry sausage patties in the skillet over medium. After a couple of minutes, flip them and keep cooking until they're hot all the way through—aim for 71°C inside.
13 -
Pop the cooked sausage onto a plate and keep them warm for later stacking.
14 -
Start with a pancake, spoon over some of the hot maple syrup, add a cheese slice, put the sausage patty on, then add some bacon on top.
15 -
Drop another pancake on top and press down gently to help it all stick. Build the rest just like that.
16 -
Bring your sandwich stacks out to your crew while they're still toasty. Pour on more syrup if you want.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Resist the urge to stir pancake batter too much. Lumpy means fluffy and that's a good thing.
02 -
It helps to work with a non-stick pan—flipping the pancakes is so much easier.
03 -
Leave bacon in the skillet a little longer if you like a big bacon crunch.
04 -
No maple syrup? Try pecan or use a buttery kind for something new.
05 -
Toss a dash of cayenne into the batter if you want a subtle bump of spicy flavor.
