Sausage Dipped Pancakes

Sausage Dipped Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Pancake Batter:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons sugar

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)

• 1 large egg

• 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

For the Sausages:

• 8 to 10 breakfast sausages (small or regular size)

• Wooden skewers or sticks (optional, for dipping and handling)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pancake Batter:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

• In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy but well mixed. Do not overmix.

2. Prepare the Sausages:

• If using wooden skewers, carefully thread each sausage onto a skewer to make dipping easier.

• If you prefer, you can cook the sausages first or use precooked sausages. For best flavor and safety, cook the sausages in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until browned and cooked through.

3. Dip Sausages in Pancake Batter:

• Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.

• Dip each sausage (on skewer or held with tongs) into the pancake batter, coating it evenly.

• Carefully place the batter-coated sausage onto the hot skillet.

• Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the pancake coating is golden brown and cooked through.

4. Serve:

• Remove the sausage dipped pancakes from the skillet and keep warm.

• Serve hot with maple syrup, honey, or your favorite breakfast sides like scrambled eggs or fresh fruit.

Tips:

• You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the pancake batter for extra flavor.

• For a crispier coating, double-dip the sausages in the batter before cooking.

• If you want a little more indulgence, drizzle the finished pancakes with melted butter and syrup.
