Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20)
- 6 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp truffle butter
- 1 cup pancake batter (prepared from your favorite recipe or mix)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Optional Toppings
- Pickles
- Caramelized onions
- Lettuce or fresh greens
Instructions
- Prepare the Pancake Buns: Start by making small pancake rounds, about 2-3 inches in diameter, using your favorite pancake batter recipe. Cook them on medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Set aside and keep them warm as these will replace traditional slider buns.
- Form and Season the Burger Patties: Divide the ground beef into small portions that match your pancake size. Shape each into thin patties and season generously with salt and pepper to ensure juicy, flavorful bites that complement the buttery pancakes.
- Cook the Burger Patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook patties for about 3 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached. Just before finishing, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top to melt over the patties.
- Infuse with Truffle Butter: Once the patties are cooked, spread a thin layer of truffle butter on the bottom pancake buns. The heat from the patties will gently melt the butter, creating a rich and fragrant base for each slider.
- Assemble Your Sliders: Place the cheeseburger patties on the truffle butter-coated pancakes. Add optional toppings like pickles, caramelized onions, or fresh greens, then cover with another pancake. Secure with a toothpick if desired to keep everything in place.
Notes
- Use room temperature beef to ensure even cooking and juicy sliders.
- Handle the ground beef gently; do not overmix to avoid dense patties.
- Cook pancakes on medium heat to achieve a golden crust without burning.
- Lightly butter your skillet to prevent sticking and give a nice sear to pancakes and patties.
- Cover the pan briefly after adding cheese to allow it to melt fully for gooey sliders.
