Hotcakes are the only pancake item McDonald's sells and the sweetest thing on the breakfast board. This page covers every way to order them, the full nutrition, the sugar figure most guides skip, and how the Big Breakfast compares with and without them. Prices for the rest of the board are on our McDonald's breakfast menu, and serving cut-offs are on breakfast hours.
Our surveyed national midpoint is $5.29 for the standalone order of three. Every version comes with real butter and maple-flavoured hotcake syrup as standard, and neither is optional pricing — they are packed with the order whether you use them or not.
One order of McDonald's Hotcakes is three, with butter and syrup, at 580 calories. Most of that is carbohydrate and sugar rather than fat, which makes the macro profile very different from the rest of the breakfast board.
At 580 calories, McDonald's Hotcakes sit above every breakfast sandwich except the Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddle at 550, and well above an Egg McMuffin at 310. On protein they are the weakest of the lot at 9g.
Full menu comparison on McDonald's nutrition and calories.
This is the largest single order on the McDonald's menu, breakfast or otherwise. A biscuit, a sausage patty, scrambled eggs, hash browns and three hotcakes with butter and syrup, on one plate, for 1,340 calories.
The plain Big Breakfast is $5.69 and 760 calories. Adding hotcakes takes it to $8.29 and 1,340. You are paying $2.60 for 580 calories and 45g of sugar. It is worth it only if you genuinely want the hotcakes, which is the honest test for any upgrade on this menu.
McDonald's Hotcakes are three griddled pancakes served with two packets: real salted whipped butter and maple-flavoured hotcake syrup. The syrup is flavoured rather than actual maple, which matters more than it sounds, because it is where nearly all the sugar comes from.
Contains wheat, egg, milk and soy, so not suitable for gluten free, dairy free or vegan diets. Full detail on McDonald's own product page.
The middle option, and the one most people should probably order if they want both sweet and savoury. It is the standard McDonald's Hotcakes plate plus one pork sausage patty, for a dollar more and 200 more calories, without the biscuit and hash browns that push the Big Breakfast past 1,300.
McDonald's Hotcakes are not on the Under $3 Menu and do not appear in the $4 Breakfast Meal Deal, which covers the Sausage McMuffin and Sausage Biscuit only. Current offers on McDonald's meal deals.

580 calories for an order of three with butter and syrup. That is McDonald's published figure. Leaving the syrup off drops it to roughly 430, because the packet alone carries around 180 calories and 40g of sugar.

Three, each roughly four inches across, served with one packet of real salted whipped butter and one of maple-flavoured hotcake syrup. That is the same stack whether you order them alone or inside the Big Breakfast.
1,340, which makes it the highest calorie single order McDonald's sells. For comparison, a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese is 740 and two Big Macs come to 1,140. It also carries 2,075mg of sodium, around 90 percent of the daily recommendation.
Three hotcakes, butter and syrup. The plain version is $5.69 and 760 calories; with hotcakes it is $8.29 and 1,340. You are paying $2.60 for 580 extra calories and 45g of sugar.
No. It is described as maple-flavoured hotcake syrup rather than maple syrup. It contributes roughly 40g of added sugar, which is about 80 percent of the FDA daily recommendation of 50g in one packet.
The standard three hotcakes with butter and syrup, plus one pork sausage patty. It is 780 calories and $6.29, which sits between the plain hotcakes and the full Big Breakfast plate.
No. They are breakfast only, and most restaurants stop serving between 10:30am and 11:00am. All Day Breakfast ran from 2015 to 2020 and has not returned nationally. Times are on our breakfast hours page.
Neither. They contain wheat, egg, milk and soy, and are cooked on shared griddle surfaces. The butter packet adds dairy on top. There is no gluten free or dairy free version on the US menu.
Use half the syrup, or skip it. Both packets are handed over separately rather than poured on, so you control the amount. Half the syrup saves roughly 90 calories and 20g of sugar without changing the taste much.
