🍽️ Directions
1️⃣ Cook the Sausages
Cook sausages in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove and let cool slightly. Pat dry if needed.
2️⃣ Make the Pancake Batter
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, vanilla, and melted butter.
Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth (don’t overmix).
3️⃣ Prep the Sausages
If using links, leave whole. If using patties, roll gently into small logs for easier dipping.
4️⃣ Dip the Sausage
Insert a toothpick or skewer into each sausage (optional). Dip each sausage into the pancake batter, coating evenly.
5️⃣ Cook Until Golden
Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place battered sausages onto the hot surface and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides and cooked through.
6️⃣ Drain & Rest
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Let rest 1–2 minutes to set.
7️⃣ Serve & Dip
Serve warm with maple syrup for dipping. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
