Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Kid-friendly and fun to eat
- Sweet and savory flavor combo
- Great for meal prep or quick breakfast
- Simple ingredients, no fancy tools required
- Delicious with maple syrup or honey
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup milk (more if needed for consistency)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
- 8 breakfast sausages, cooked (pork or chicken)
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
1. Cook the Sausages
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausages until browned and fully cooked, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
2. Prepare the Pancake Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined and smooth. If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach a dipping consistency.
3. Coat the Sausages
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Dip each sausage into the pancake batter, making sure it’s evenly coated on all sides.
4. Cook the Pancake-Wrapped Sausages
Place the coated sausages onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, turning as needed, until golden brown and the batter is cooked through.
5. Serve
Serve warm with a side of maple syrup for dipping or drizzling.
Tips for Success
- Use fully cooked sausages for quicker prep
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet—cook in batches if needed
- Keep cooked pancake sausages warm in a 200°F oven while you finish the rest
- Try dipping in honey or hot honey for a twist
- Use mini sausages to make bite-sized breakfast snacks
