1 egg

3/4 cup milk

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 cup flour

1 tablespoon sugar

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Maple syrup crystals

1/4 cup maple sugar (King Arthur sells this)

Method:

Crystals:

Put small amount of sugar on plate. Add one drop of water (or maple
flavoring if using it and plain sugar), and roll sugar into a tiny, less
then pea sized ball. Repeat until you have about 6-8 balls per pancake,
depending on what you desire.

Fry bacon and leave to drain on paper towels.

Take egg beaters and make 5 small egg patties in one of two ways : A -Use a
coffee mug and cook 1/4 cup beaters in microwave until set or stove top
using a small pancake form, set aside.

Pancakes:

Beat egg until fluffy. Add milk and melted butter. Add dry ingredients and
mix well. Heat griddle until a drop of water sizzles and dances. Pour 1/5
- 1/4 cup batter into skillet (think coffee mug sized) and press crystals
into the top of the batter. Cook until bubbly and turn. You should get 10
small pancakes.

When done, arrange as follows:

Pancake, egg, 3 slices bacon, 1 piece cheese, pancake to make 5 sandwiches.
Cook on griddle until cheese is melted.

Can be done with Sausage or ham also.
