Description
I’ve discovered the sweetest way to enjoy savory breakfast sausage—wrapped in fluffy pancake batter and pan-fried to golden perfection! These Sausage Dipped Pancakes turn ordinary sausage patties into a fun, crowd-pleasing twist on two breakfast classics.
Ingredients
8 breakfast sausage patties
1½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1¼ cups milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil (plus more for the skillet)
Instructions
- Cook the sausage patties: In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook patties 3–4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, and melted butter (or oil) until smooth.
- Make the batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently until just combined; small lumps are okay.
- Dip the patties: Heat a little oil or butter in the skillet over medium-low. Pat sausages dry, then dip each into batter, coating both sides.
- Pan-fry the dipped patties: Place battered patties in skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and the pancake is cooked through.
- Serve warm: Transfer to a platter and enjoy immediately with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
Pat sausage patties dry before dipping so the batter adheres better.
Use medium-low heat for a golden crust without burning the pancake.
Make the batter ahead and refrigerate up to 2 hours—give it a gentle stir before dipping.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness.
Try variations: use maple sausage, sprinkle cheese in the batter, or add chopped herbs for extra flavor.
