Sausage Dipped Pancakes (Printer-Friendly Version)

Fluffy pancakes envelop tender sausages for a savory pan-cooked breakfast treat with subtle vanilla notes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Sausages

01 - 1 lb fully cooked beef sausage links

→ Pancake Batter

02 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
07 - 3/4 cup buttermilk
08 - 1 large egg
09 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
10 - 2 tablespoons melted butter

→ For Cooking

11 - Oil or butter for greasing the pan

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Pat fully cooked beef sausage links dry with paper towels and set aside.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, pure vanilla extract, and melted butter until fully combined.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; a few lumps are acceptable to preserve batter tenderness.
05 - Fully coat each sausage link in the pancake batter, ensuring even coverage on all sides.
06 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter. Place the batter-coated sausages onto the heated surface and cook, turning occasionally, until the pancake coating is golden brown and cooked through, approximately 3 to 5 minutes per side.
07 - Transfer sausage-dipped pancakes to a serving platter and serve warm, optionally accompanied by maple syrup.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Use fully cooked sausages to ensure thorough heating and a crisp, golden pancake coating when pan frying.
