Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 10–12 breakfast sausage links
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage: Cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat, drain on paper towels, and set aside.
- Make the Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, and egg. Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Heat the Oil: In a large saucepan or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the sausage bites.
- Assemble the Bites: Take each cooked sausage link and dip it into the pancake batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Carefully drop each coated sausage into the hot oil.
- Cook the Bites: Fry the sausage pancake bites for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain excess oil on paper towels.
- Serve: Arrange the sausage pancake bites on a plate. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
- Batter Consistency: The pancake batter should be thick enough to stick to the sausages, so adjust with more mix or milk if necessary.
- Oil Temperature: Maintain a steady oil temperature to ensure even cooking and prevent the bites from becoming greasy.
- Alternative Cooking: For a healthier option, bake the bites on a greased baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until golden.
