Ingredients
For the Sausages
- 12 breakfast sausage links (pork or turkey)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (optional, for browning)
For the Pancake Batter
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk (plus extra if needed)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Add-Ins
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp maple syrup in the batter
- Pinch of nutmeg
For Serving
- Warm maple syrup
- Honey
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh fruit
Preparation
Step 1: Cook the Sausage Links
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add sausage links and cook until browned on all sides and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes.
- Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to cool slightly.
- Toothpicks or skewers can be inserted into each sausage for easier dipping.
Step 2: Make the Pancake Batter
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture.
- Stir gently until combined—do not overmix. A few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Let batter rest 5 minutes for fluffier results.
Step 3: Dip the Sausages
- Pour pancake batter into a tall glass or cup (this makes dipping easier).
- Hold each sausage by the toothpick and dip completely into the batter, coating evenly.
- Let excess batter drip off lightly.
Step 4: Cook the Sausage Dipped Pancakes
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Place each batter-coated sausage onto the skillet.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Flip and cook evenly until all sides are firm and crisp.
- Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches
- Serve warm with maple syrup or honey.
- Dust with powdered sugar for a sweet touch.
- Add fruit on the side for a full breakfast plate.
Variation
- Cornmeal Breakfast Sticks: Add ¼ cup cornmeal to the batter for a corndog-style flavor.
- Cheesy Pancake Wraps: Mix shredded cheddar into the batter before dipping.
- Spicy Twist: Use spicy sausage links for extra flavor.
- Blueberry Pancake Coating: Add fresh or dried blueberries to the batter.
- Cinnamon Roll Version: Add cinnamon and swirl with brown sugar before dipping.
COOKING Note :
For a perfectly smooth coating, the pancake batter should be thick enough to cling to the sausage but not too thick that it becomes heavy. Adjust with small amounts of milk if needed. Make sure the skillet is not too hot—medium heat creates an even golden crust without burning the batter.
Serving Suggestions :
- Dip in warm maple syrup for a classic sweet-and-savory flavor.
- Serve with a scrambled eggs and fruit platter for a full breakfast.
- Add a side of whipped honey butter for extra richness.
- Pair with fresh berries or orange slices for balance.
- Serve on sticks for a fun party or brunch display.
Tips :
- Let the sausage cool slightly before dipping so the batter adheres properly.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet—cook in batches for best browning.
- If batter keeps sliding off, roll sausages lightly in flour before dipping.
- To reheat, use oven or air fryer for crispiness (avoid microwaving).
- For meal prep, freeze cooked pancake sausages and reheat when needed.
