Instructions

Make 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.
Prepare 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 patties with cheese: 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.
Add truffle butter to pancakes: 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 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 freshly ground black pepper for best flavor.
Keep pancake buns warm by placing them in a low-heat oven or covered with foil while cooking patties.
Customize sliders with your favorite toppings such as tomato slices or mustard.
Ensure patties are thin to cook evenly and fit the pancake size perfectly.
Truffle butter can be substituted with regular butter flavored with a few drops of truffle oil if unavailable.
