1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp butter for cooking

4. Grill or pan-fry burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through
5. Cook pancakes in buttered pan until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side

Notes
For sturdier pancakes, use slightly thicker batter and cook longer
Toast pancakes lightly before assembly to prevent sogginess
Add a thin layer of butter between pancake and patty as a moisture barrier
Best served immediately while all components are warm
