Making The McDonald's McGriddle At Home | But Better

There are only a few moments in life when you are able to prove the impossible and last time we talked about Mickey D we did, this is another one of those moments, welcome back to Bud Better episode 13 14, I'm so bad to keep track of these things, so Mick's riddle is pretty simple, it's two types of pancakes injected with egg, bacon and cheese or sausage, if you or sausage, whatever you know, I was thinking about this and I developed this recipe the second day last and I must say it worked pretty well with everything he said, let's do this, oh, they have an armored vehicle here, I mean, yes they do, they're

making

billions of dollars and stuff, like that Good morning to McDonald's.

Hi, I've actually never been here before. What do you think of the

, we sell them, you either want one or not, if they slap their hand like they're waiting outside the window over the car, they say oh, thanks to me too, we have the bag. like the artwork here mcd olds really good first this bacon is boom it smells good but i honestly smell nothing but the overflowing maple flavor oh listen to this you want to eat that i mean what is this?

What is this? overcooked egg the egg is like a dry gelatinous substance the bacon is overcooked there just turns it into dust I almost missed the biker at this point I feel like he would come in and say but now it's more like but the real question is can we do it ? I

's diss song maybe hit you with little widow will knock 'em down like they're so little ok that's enough I need to figure out how to get this maple syrup shot so to do that you're going to start with a cup or 240 milliliters of maple syrup, a good one, put it in a small saucepan over medium heat and let it come to a simmer and it will just continue to simmer and reduce the temperature fluctuation as needed so it doesn't foam because it would be sad until the mixture reaches 265 degrees Fahrenheit or 130 degrees Celsius.

Basically, you are

making

a hard candy ball. Now, once it reaches that temperature, which will take about 10 to 15 minutes, you'll get a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, carefully pour the mixture over it in a nice, even layer, spread it out before it cools, and then let it cool to room temperature. Now what you will get is something like a stretchy nougat. What you have to do is take small pieces of nougat and roll them into tiny balls, I'm talking about a quarter of an inch in diameter, don't make them too big now, once you've made the balls, let's talk about these griddle cakes. which is essentially like a pancake and no I'm not making jokes about my griddle pies okay that's enough this is optional but I actually prefer to cook my bacon first before I make my griddle pies just because you know the taste of bacon.

If you're making the bacon first, it's pretty simple: Place it in a cold skillet or cold griddle, heat it over medium heat, and then keep turning it frequently until you have crispy, beautifully browned bacon, as much as you like. Depending on the number of sandwiches, you need six to eight slices, which is enough for four sandwiches. Now, once all the bacon is ready to make the griddle cake batter, you're going to mix in one and a half cups or 225 grams of all-purpose flour, two. teaspoons or 9 grams of baking powder 1 tablespoon or 14 grams of sugar don't worry about making this, I only made it because it was lumpy and 2 teaspoons or 5 grams of kosher salt give it a little whiskey until it's well combined and then with that flour mix, you will add one and a half cup or 323 grams of whole milk, one whole egg and two and a half tablespoons or 28 grams of melted butter, mix until well combined and now you should have a fairly loose dough in a shape not - Frying pan or on a flat surface, obtain a three to three and a half inch circular mold.

Be sure to lightly grease the inside of the circle pan. Heat it over medium heat, once it is very hot, add about a tablespoon or 14 grams of unsalted butter. let it melt as soon as it bubbles, place it in your pan and add about three tablespoons of batter. You don't want to fill this all the way to the top because it's going to rise, you really want kind of a thin layer. four to six maple balls and place them randomly on the dough, tucking them into the dough and then letting them cook for about two or three minutes until you get a nice brown bottom.

Remove the circular pan, flip the cake onto the griddle and repeat with the other. side and that's it, that will be your griddle cake once both sides are golden brown and cooked through, you're done, that's half of it, so you'll need two of these per sandwich, then repeat with as many as you need. This recipe makes between 10 and 14 of these now, for consistency's sake, if you have any brands, I happen to have two iron brands with my initials on them. Heat those bad boys over high heat until piping hot and simply stamp my initials on the top bun.

You have the coveted mcgriddle cake. I already have the bacon now let's talk about that folded egg that is not complicated for each sandwich you will only need one egg place it in a bowl season it to taste with salt and pepper if you wish beat the egg until it has a uniform texture a little butter Heat a flat-top or nonstick skillet over medium heat, once the butter is very hot and bubbling, pour the egg directly onto the surface and, using a spatula or offset spatula, spread it into a six-inch by six-inch square. I need to do this quickly, don't let it cook all the way through once it's cooked about 75 percent of the way, fold in the right side of the egg, then the left side, the top and finally the bottom and now you have a little folded square, you can do it visually very easily, immediately take it out of the pan, the heat will be transferred this way, the egg is not overcooked, okay, so now we are ready, prepare the griddle and heat it again on a pan. one slice of cheddar cheese and one slice of pepper jack cheese on the bottom bun, now you can let it sit with the lid on until it melts or you can just burn it like me and flex it now, the assembly is very simple, first the bottom bun and then your bacon, which has been cut in half to fit properly into about three half slices, followed by your egg, brush the inside of your top bun with maple syrup and crown your king now that it's a brand mcgriddle jw, it's mcmuffin, it's mcgriddle time if

mcdonald

's has its own small brand logo, well we can do that too, we can make our own logo, that's fine, it looks much

better

as a french omelette, the eggs cook perfectly , it's not dry, it's seasoned perfectly, two types of cheeses, the bacon is quite gooey. fuel injected maple syrup you like but now I have class with all that said bring my friend okay work with me at uchiko when I worked there I got you got you baby okay start with Number one, you've been doing this long enough.

You like some water to clean the palette please sir the mystery I'm involved in now has me excited so that was number one now number two oh right now number two yeah , the seasoning just the overall texture in as much as it can. I automatically notice the fact that number two has a much better texture than mcgriddle looks, the first one was very chewy while the second one was very soft, oh can you take this off by the way, oh god it really is so astronomically different. It was like I thought you were just being nice, but I just know I had the other one.

You get a completely different bite from this one. You feel every element of that sandwich, whereas on this one, you just bite into it blindfolded and the mouthpiece just got better. And if there is anyone who is in doubt as you want anyone who is in doubt there is only one winner and only one thing I have to say is that I think McDonald's is going to love it this time, but do you want to know what else makes its own mcgriddle ? right guys and that's it so we made the mcdonald's mcgriddle and flexed it at first i was a little worried because i felt like mine looked a little different this happens to me every time you eat it side by side and it just explodes the other. one out of the water and it really shows that we get so used to how something is and we don't wonder if it's really good or not, we like it like you can like something to me, so many fast foods are. they just are what they are when you get a burger from a fast food chain that's what it is and has been for years and people just accept it and don't think twice about waiting a minute this kind of sucks or whatever um I don't know it's a moment of epiphany I think I experienced that I think Cam I experienced that camera Thank you for joining us I love you and the people watching I love you I kiss you but above all we're not going to go beyond kissing, okay, distancing social, that doesn't make sense, if you enjoyed this video or learned something, leave a like, subscribe and I'll see you next time.
