How to Make Sausage Dipped Pancakes

Ingredients:

1½ cups all-purpose flour
3½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1¼ cups milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon maple syrup
16 breakfast sausage patties

Directions:

In a large skillet, cook the sausage patties over medium-high heat until fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain the excess grease on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, melted butter, and maple syrup until fully combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Preheat a griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat and spray with a non-stick cooking spray.
Dip each cooked sausage patty into the pancake batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Place the battered sausage onto the preheated griddle or skillet. Cook until the batter bubbles, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat until all the sausages are cooked.
Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.

How to Serve Sausage Dipped Pancakes

Serve these pancakes warm right off the griddle. They taste best with a pat of butter on top and a drizzle of maple syrup. You can also add fresh fruit or whipped cream for an extra treat!

How to Store Sausage Dipped Pancakes

If you have leftovers, let the pancakes cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay good for up to three days. You can reheat them in the microwave or on a skillet before serving.

Tips to Make Sausage Dipped Pancakes

Make sure to cook the sausage fully before dipping it in the batter, as it helps keep the pancakes tasty and safe to eat.
Don’t over-mix the batter; a few lumps are okay. This helps keep the pancakes fluffy.
Adjust the maple syrup according to your taste. If you like it sweeter, add more!

Variation

You can try using different types of sausages, such as turkey or chicken sausage, for a leaner option. Adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg in the batter can also give a unique flavor twist.

FAQs

Can I use frozen sausage?
Yes, you can use frozen sausage patties. Just make sure to cook them thoroughly according to package instructions before dipping them in the batter.

Can I make the pancake batter ahead of time?
It’s best to make the batter fresh for the best texture. However, you can prepare the dry ingredients in advance and mix them with the wet ingredients when you are ready to cook.

Can I freeze the cooked sausage dipped pancakes?
Absolutely! Let them cool and then freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet. After freezing, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. They’ll be good for up to two months. Reheat directly from the freezer in the oven or microwave.
