Ingredients
- Pancake Mix
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Sugar
- Egg
- Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Oil or melted butter
- Beef Breakfast Sausage Links
- Pure maple syrup
- Small fresh fruit (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries)
- Powdered sugar
- Small Wooden Skewers (cocktail-sized, 4-6 inches long)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Sausage: If using pre-cooked beef breakfast sausage links, reheat them in a microwave for 30-60 seconds or sauté in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until warmed through. If using raw beef sausage links, cook thoroughly according to package instructions until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Let the sausages cool slightly, then slice them into bite-sized pieces, roughly ½ to ¾ inch thick.
- Make Your Mini Pancakes: Prepare pancake batter according to the package directions or your favorite from-scratch recipe. Heat a non-stick griddle or large frying pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease it. Use a tablespoon measure or small cookie scoop to drop about 1-1½ tablespoons of batter for each pancake, creating pancakes about 2-3 inches in diameter. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Keep cooked pancakes warm while cooking the rest.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread a mini pancake onto a skewer, followed by a piece of sausage, another mini pancake, another piece of sausage, and finally, a third mini pancake. Optionally, add small pieces of fruit between the pancake and sausage pieces.
- Serve Immediately: Arrange the assembled skewers on a serving platter and serve with a small bowl of warm maple syrup on the side for dipping.
