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.
