Sausage Pancake on a Stick Recipe
Ingredients
- Bisquick mix – Your shortcut to the perfect pancake without dirtying a million bowls.
- Milk – Helps make that batter pourable and smooth.
- Oil – Keeps things nice and tender without overpowering the flavor.
- Eggs – These bind everything together and give your pancakes structure.
- Breakfast sausage links, cooked – Use your favorite brand. Just make sure they are fully cooked before skewering them.
- Non-stick cooking spray – To keep your pancake batter from sticking to the pan.
Instructions
1. Place Bisquick pancake mix in a large bowl and create a well in the center.
2. Add eggs, milk, and oil to the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. The batter should be thick—not runny, not lumpy.
3. Cook and skewer each of the sausage links with a Popsicle stick.
4. Preheat a large skillet or griddle on medium heat.
5. Spray the center of the pan with cooking spray.
6. Dip each sausage skewer into the pancake batter, making sure to coat the entire link.
7. Place in the skillet.
8. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on top.
9. Flip and cook for another couple minutes until beautifully 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 heat 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 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.
