Cannabis-Infused "McGriddle" Breakfast Sandwich with Infused Maple Syrup

Cannabis-Infused "McGriddle" Breakfast Sandwich with Infused Maple Syrup

A Note on Dosing: This recipe makes 2 massive McGriddle sandwiches. We calculate based on a 15% THC flower. You must calculate your own dose based on your cannabis potency. This is a macro dose for experienced consumers. Know your tolerance. Start with half a sandwich.

Approximate Dose (using 1.5g of 15% THC flower): ~55mg THC per McGriddle. This is a very high dose. Adjust your cannabis amount to 0.5g for a more moderate 18mg per sandwich, or 0.75g for ~27mg.

Step 1: The Cannabis-Infused Maple Syrup

Ingredients:

· 1.5 grams cannabis flower (choose a sweet, breakfast-friendly strain)

· 1 cup pure maple syrup (Grade A Dark Amber for robust flavor)

· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

· 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

· Pinch of sea salt

Decarboxylation Method:

1. Preheat oven to 225°F (107°C).

2. Finely grind cannabis flower and spread on parchment-lined baking sheet.

3. Bake for 35-40 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant. Cool completely.

Infusion Method:

1. In a small saucepan, gently warm the maple syrup over the lowest possible heat until it becomes thin and runny. Do not simmer.

2. Remove from heat. Stir in the decarboxylated cannabis, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.

3. Cover and let steep for 2 hours, maintaining warmth by placing the saucepan in a warm water bath if needed. Keep below 160°F (71°C).

4. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a glass jar or squeeze bottle. Press gently. Discard solids.

5. This is your Cannabis-Infused Maple Syrup. It will keep refrigerated for up to 1 month.

Step 2: The McGriddle Cakes

Ingredients:

· 2 cups pancake mix (complete mix, just add water)

· 1 1/3 cups water (or as directed on your pancake mix)

· 2 tablespoons of your Cannabis-Infused Maple Syrup (added to the batter)

· Butter, for the griddle

For the "Griddle" Effect:

· 1/4 cup of your Cannabis-Infused Maple Syrup, for brushing

Method:

1. Make the Batter:

· In a medium bowl, combine the pancake mix, water, and 2 tablespoons of Cannabis-Infused Maple Syrup.

· Stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay. Do not overmix.

2. Griddle the Cakes:

· Heat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat and butter the surface.

· Pour 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the hot griddle for each McGriddle cake. You need 4 cakes total (2 sandwiches x 2 cakes each).

· Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

· Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

· Transfer to a plate and immediately brush the top of each cake with Cannabis-Infused Maple Syrup. This creates that iconic sticky, sweet McGriddle surface.

Step 3: The Breakfast Fillings

For the Sausage Patties:

· 4 breakfast sausage patties (pre-made, or make your own)

· 1 tablespoon butter

For the Eggs:

· 4 large eggs

· 2 tablespoons milk

· Salt and pepper

· 2 tablespoons butter

· 4 slices American cheese

For the Build:

· Your 4 infused McGriddle cakes

· Your cooked sausage patties

· Your folded eggs with cheese

Method:

1. Cook the Sausage:

· In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage patties according to package directions, about 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.

· Keep warm.

2. Make the Folded Eggs:

· In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until frothy.

· Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add butter.

· Pour the eggs into the skillet and let them set without stirring for 1-2 minutes.

· Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges toward the center, tilting the pan to let uncooked egg flow underneath.

· When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet on top, place 2 slices of American cheese down the center.

· Fold the eggs into a rectangle roughly the size of your McGriddle cakes.

· Cook for another minute to melt the cheese, then remove from heat.

3. Assemble the McGriddles:

· Bottom cake: Place one infused McGriddle cake, syrup-brushed side up.

· Layer 1: Two sausage patties.

· Layer 2: One folded egg with melted cheese.

· Top cake: Place second infused McGriddle cake, syrup-brushed side down (so the syrup touches the egg).

4. Rest & Serve:

· Let the sandwich rest for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to fully melt and the flavors to meld.

· Serve immediately with extra Cannabis-Infused Maple Syrup for dipping.

The McDonald's "McGriddle" Detail:

The McGriddle is a breakfast sandwich where the buns are griddle cakes infused with maple syrup. Not drizzled on top. Not served on the side. Infused directly into the cake batter. The result is a sweet, savory, sticky, portable breakfast masterpiece.

The key is brushing the hot cakes with additional syrup immediately after cooking. This creates that signature tacky surface that makes the McGriddle unmistakable.
