A delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors, these miniature versions of a breakfast favorite are perfect for busy mornings or casual brunches.
Ingredients
Pancake Mixture
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 6 links breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- to taste extra maple syrup for serving
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk gently until blended.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Cooking
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, greasing lightly with butter.
- Pour about a tablespoon of batter for each bite onto the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a cooling rack. Top each pancake with crumbled sausage and a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Place another pancake on top to create a sandwich and repeat with the remaining batter and sausage.
Notes
For added flavor, try using flavored breakfast sausages. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the rest. Freezing leftovers is recommended for easy reheating later.
