Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 breakfast sausages
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Cooking Ingredients:
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Sizzle breakfast sausages in a skillet at medium heat until evenly browned and thoroughly cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Whisk pancake mix with milk, egg, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until achieving a smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Prepare a non-stick skillet or griddle at medium temperature, lightly coating the surface with butter or cooking oil.
- Dollop small circular batter portions onto the heated surface, creating miniature pancakes approximately 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Allow pancakes to cook until tiny bubbles emerge across the surface, then carefully flip and continue cooking until achieving a golden-brown appearance on both sides.
- Gently envelop each fully cooked sausage within a warm pancake, using toothpicks to secure if necessary.
- Transfer wrapped sausages to a serving plate, drizzling with pure maple syrup for an indulgent breakfast experience.
- Serve immediately while pancakes remain warm and sausages retain their appetizing heat.
Notes
- Customize the sausage by choosing lean turkey or chicken options for a healthier protein alternative.
- Experiment with whole wheat or gluten-free pancake mix to accommodate different dietary needs and preferences.
- Prep sausages and pancakes ahead of time for quick morning assembly, perfect for busy families or meal prepping.
- Use silicone toothpicks or skip them entirely by creating slightly overlapping pancake edges to hold the sausage securely.
