Breakfast Sliders with Spicy Syrup

So, I've been studying away... barely any cooking at all unfortunately. But this morning, we decided to whip a simple breakfast that is really just a little cooking and more assembling. You can really make it as easy as you want. These Breakfast Sliders taste almost exactly like a sausage, egg, & cheese McGriddle from McDonald's... but better and with a nice kick. It really doesn't take any time at all, so if you're in a rush, this recipe makes a lot of food in a short period of time. Enjoy :)

Breakfast Sliders with Spicy Syrup

Sweet Pancakes with Salty Sausage Patties, Melty Cheese, Fluffy Eggs, & Spicy Syrup

For the Pancake Buns:

1 ½C AP Flour

3 ½t Baking Powder

1t Salt

1T Sugar

1 ¼C Milk

1 Egg

1t Vanilla

3T Butter, Melted

For the Spicy Syrup:

½C Maple Syrup

¼C Honey

1T Chili Powder

For the Breakfast Sliders:

20 Pancake Buns, Silver Dollar-Sized

10 Sausage Patties, Cooked

5 Scrambled Eggs, Cooked & Formed into 10 Small Patties

5 Slices of Cheese (Each slice cut into quarters/fourths)

Prepared Spicy Syrup

Directions: 

1. To Make the Pancake Buns: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter. Mix until smooth. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop a scant ¼C of the batter onto the griddle. Brown each pancake on both sides, about 2-3 minutes.

2. To Make the Spicy Syrup: Whisk together the maple syrup, honey, and chili powder until completely incorporated and smooth.

3. Assemble the Breakfast Sliders: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and spray a baking dish with Pam. Stack 1 sausage patty, 1 scrambled egg patty, and 2 quarters of cheese on top of one pancake bun.  Once all of the sliders have been assembled (leaving the top pancake bun off), put the baking dish in the oven to heat the slider and melt the cheese, about 5 minutes. Once the cheese has melted, place the heated sliders on to a plate and drizzle the spicy syrup all over them (do this to taste). Finally top with the other pancake buns. 

4. Serve warm and enjoy!
