Sausage Dipped Pancakes (Print View)

Fluffy pancakes dipped with sausage, cooked golden brown and served warm with maple syrup.

# What You'll Need:

→ Sausage

01 - 4 breakfast sausage patties

→ Dry Ingredients

02 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - 1 large egg
09 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
10 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

→ To Serve

11 - Butter, as desired
12 - Maple syrup, as desired

# Directions:

01 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage patties until thoroughly browned and fully cooked. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat.
02 - Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar into a large mixing bowl.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together whole milk, vanilla extract, egg, melted unsalted butter, and pure maple syrup until well blended.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently whisk just until combined. Leave small lumps in the batter to ensure tenderness; avoid overmixing.
05 - Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
06 - Fully dip each cooked sausage patty in the pancake batter, ensuring it is evenly coated.
07 - Place the coated sausage patties onto the prepared skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then use a thin spatula to carefully flip. Continue cooking until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
08 - Transfer the cooked sausage-dipped pancakes onto a plate. Serve immediately with additional butter and maple syrup as desired.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure sausage patties are fully cooked before dipping to prevent raw meat in the batter.
02 - Small lumps in pancake batter help maintain a light, tender texture.
