Ingredients
Scale
Breakfast Sausage:
- 8 breakfast sausage links
Flour and Liquid Base:
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
Flavoring and Cooking:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Serving:
- Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- Sizzle sausage links in a skillet at medium heat until golden and thoroughly cooked, ensuring even browning and complete internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Blend pancake mix, milk, egg, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl, whisking until achieving a silky, lump-free batter with consistent texture.
- Prepare non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, applying a thin layer of butter or cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Drop small dollops of batter onto heated surface, creating petite pancakes approximately 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Allow pancakes to cook until surface bubbles emerge, indicating readiness for flipping; turn and continue cooking until opposite side turns rich golden brown.
- Carefully envelop each cooked sausage link with a warm pancake, using toothpicks to secure if necessary.
- Transfer wrapped sausages to serving plate, arranging attractively for visual appeal.
- Accompany dish with maple syrup in a small dipping bowl, allowing guests to customize their morning indulgence.
Notes
- Customize sausage selection by choosing chicken, turkey, or plant-based links for different dietary preferences and healthier options.
- Enhance pancake batter with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
- Prepare mini pancakes slightly smaller than the sausage length to ensure neat wrapping and easy handling.
- Make ahead by cooking sausages and pancakes separately, then assembling and reheating in the oven for quick morning preparation.
