Today I want to share an easy breakfast idea with you that is sure to please. To save some time, this recipe for pancake sausage sticks starts with my favorite pancake mix and ends with a plate full of breakfast corn dogs.
Serve them up with fresh fruit and warm maple syrup for dipping for a great start to everyone’s day.
Supplies:
- Skillet, griddle or non-stick pan – I really like this white granite non-stick pan set. It’s pretty and functional!
- Large sized mixing bowl – this Pyrex set is my go-to.
- Measuring cups and spoons – these ones are awesome!
- Rubber spatula – for flipping the pancakes.
- Whisk or spoon – for mixing the batter.
- Paper towel – making clean up a breeze!
- Popsicle sticks – for skewering the sausage links.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Bisquick mix
- 1 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp oil
- 2 eggs
- 12 breakfast sausage links, cooked
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions:
1. Place Bisquick pancake mix in a large bowl and create a well in the center.
2. Add egg, milk, and oil to the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. The batter should be thick but not lumpy.
3. Cook and skewer each of the sausage links with a Popsicle stick.
4. Preheat a skillet on medium heat.
5. Spray the center of the pan with cooking spray.
6. Dip the sausage pop in the pancake batter, coating the entire link.
7. Place in the skillet.
8. Cook for 2 minutes.
9. Flip once bubbles appear on the top and cook for an additional 2-3 mins, until golden brown.
10. Repeat with remaining batter and sausages.
Substitutions:
- Add in a splash of vanilla extract.
- Instead of regular milk, use buttermilk whenever possible. It tends to create a more moist, fluffy pancake.
- You can use any kind of pancake mix that you like best.
- Try using a package of cooked breakfast sausages to save time.
- Real butter is always preferred, but margarine or vegetable oil may be used in a pinch.
Tips and Tricks:
- If the pan begins to burn the cooking spray, wipe it with paper towel to cool it off and start again. It’s easy for the pan to overheat after repeated use and start to burn the pancakes.
- Make sure the stove is set to medium. This helps prevent the pancakes from burning. If they start to cook too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Be sure to whisk the dry ingredients together before adding your wet ingredients. Make sure that the melted butter is cooled before adding it to the milk and egg.
- Pancake batter should always be thick but not lumpy. Avoid over-mixing and allow the batter to rest for a few minutes so that the baking powder has time to activate.
- For an easy way to coat your sausage skewer, transfer batter into a tall glass for dipping.
- Preheating the frying pan before dropping in the batter will create consistent, fluffy pancakes every time.
- Prevent the pancakes from sticking to the skillet by using non-stick cooking spray between batches. Olive oil or butter may also be used.
- Do not flip the pancakes until bubbles begin to form and pop. The outer edge should also begin to look more opaque.
Notes:
- Keep the pancakes warm before serving by placing them on a lined baking tray in an oven set to the lowest temperature. Alternately, place them in a covered casserole dish to stay warm.
- Use the pancake batter to make silver dollar pancakes or full-sized pancakes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
- Leftover pancakes can be frozen, separated with parchment paper, and placed inside of a freezer bag for easy access.
- Reheat frozen pancakes on a microwave-safe plate for one minute in the microwave.
