McDonald's Hotcakes and Sausage Complete Information

A McDonald's Hotcakes and Sausage costs $6.69 and carries 770 calories. Three buttermilk hotcakes with butter and syrup, plus a seasoned pork sausage patty on the side.

This is the diner plate version of the McDonald's breakfast: sweet and savoury on one tray, with the syrup deciding how much of each you get in a given bite. Against the $5.59 plain Hotcakes at 580 calories, the sausage patty adds the protein that pancakes on their own lack, which is the whole reason the combination exists. It also takes the order out of the vegetarian category that plain Hotcakes sit in. If you want more on the tray again, the Big Breakfast with Hotcakes at $8.44 adds scrambled eggs and a hash brown to the same base. A black Coffee (Small) at $2.49 is the usual partner, and the syrup makes a sweet drink redundant.

Health Insight

At 770 calories and 46g of sugar and 810mg of sodium, this one is best treated as an occasional order rather than an everyday one.

Lighter alternative: Bacon, Egg & Cheese Bagel on the same menu comes in at 590 calories. See Bacon, Egg & Cheese Bagel

How to Make a Hotcakes and Sausage at Home?

Two easy components with one timing problem: hotcakes go leathery within a few minutes while the sausage holds heat well. Cook the sausage first and the cakes last. The restaurant version is $6.69.

Tips

  • Sausage first, hotcakes last. Pancakes have a five minute window and sausage does not care.
  • Keep the syrup on the side. Poured syrup makes the bottom cake soggy before you reach it.
  • Undermix the batter; the lumps are the rise.

Variations

  • Leave the sausage off for plain Hotcakes at $5.59, which is also the vegetarian version.
  • Add scrambled eggs and a hash brown for the Big Breakfast with Hotcakes at $8.44.
  • Use bacon instead of a sausage patty, which McDonald’s does not offer on this plate.

Serve hot with coffee. The restaurant version is $6.69 at 770 calories.
