Sausages in Pancakes
Easy Sausages in Pancakes recipe! Juicy sausage links wrapped in fluffy pancake batter. Kid-friendly and perfect with maple syrup.
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
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.
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.
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.
- 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.
Serve
- Serve warm with a side of maple syrup for dipping or drizzling.
