Hotcakes & Sausage

What is it?

Three hotcakes come with a packet of maple-flavored syrup and whipped margarine, plus a seasoned pork sausage patty on the side. The pancakes are griddled and served as a loose stack, while the sausage is cooked on the flat top, with the same pork profile used in other McDonald's breakfast sandwiches like the Sausage McMuffin and Sausage McGriddles. Because the sausage isn't tucked inside the pancakes, you can eat them together or separately. Compared with plain hotcakes, this adds a savory component and turns the meal into a two-part breakfast plate, all in the same fast-food format.
