McDonald's Big Breakfast with Hotcakes Complete Information

A McDonald's Big Breakfast with Hotcakes costs $8.44 and carries 1340 calories, which makes it the largest single order on the entire McDonald's menu, breakfast or otherwise.

Scrambled eggs, a sausage patty, a hash brown, a buttermilk biscuit and three hotcakes with butter and syrup, all on one tray. That is more food than a Big Mac and a large fries together, and the calorie figure reflects it. Against the $7.19 Big Breakfast at 1060 calories, the hotcakes and their syrup add several hundred more. It is genuinely a shareable order or a whole day's breakfast for one person, and it is worth ordering with that in mind rather than as a normal meal. Pair it with a black Coffee (Small) at $2.49, and skip everything else.

Health Insight

At 1340 calories and 48g of sugar and 2070mg of sodium, this one is best treated as an occasional order rather than an everyday one.

Lighter alternative: Big Breakfast on the same menu comes in at 1060 calories. See Big Breakfast

How to Make a Big Breakfast with Hotcakes at Home?

Five components, and the timing is the entire challenge. Biscuits and hotcakes both want to be eaten within minutes of leaving the heat, so this is a recipe that rewards a second pair of hands. The restaurant version is $8.44.

Tips

  • Cook in heat retention order: biscuits, hash browns, sausage, hotcakes, eggs.
  • This is the one recipe here worth having help with. Five components and two of them have short windows.
  • Syrup on the side, always. Poured syrup ruins the bottom hotcake before anyone starts.

Variations

  • Leave the hotcakes off for the standard Big Breakfast at $7.19.
  • Halve everything for a realistic portion, which this order is not.
  • Swap the sausage for bacon, which the menu does not offer on this platter.

Serve at once with coffee. The restaurant version is $8.44 at 1340 calories, the largest order McDonald's sells.
