Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 12 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (180 ml) milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Optional Serving:
- Maple syrup (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 375F (190C) and generously coating a mini muffin tin with cooking lubricant to prevent sticking.
- Create the pancake foundation by combining dry ingredients in one vessel, whisking flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly integrated.
- Separately blend liquid components including milk, egg, and melted butter, then gently merge with the dry mixture, stirring until just combined while allowing minor textural irregularities.
- Slice sausage links into compact segments designed to nestle perfectly within mini muffin cavities.
- Distribute pancake batter into each tin compartment, filling approximately halfway to provide adequate space for sausage placement.
- Strategically position sausage pieces centrally within each batter-filled cavity, then crown with an additional modest batter layer to partially conceal the protein.
- Transfer the loaded muffin tin into the preheated oven, allowing the mini bites to transform for 12-15 minutes until achieving a golden-brown complexion and maintaining structural integrity when tested with a toothpick.
- Allow brief cooling period of five minutes, enabling the bites to stabilize and ease extraction from the tin.
- Present these savory-sweet morsels alongside maple syrup for an indulgent dipping experience, serving while still pleasantly warm.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality breakfast sausages to enhance the overall flavor and texture of these bite-sized treats.
- Ensure the batter is mixed just until combined to keep the pancake bites light and fluffy, avoiding overmixing which can lead to tough texture.
- Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon measure for consistent portioning of batter, creating uniformly sized mini pancake bites.
- Experiment with different sausage varieties like chicken, turkey, or plant-based options to accommodate various dietary preferences and restrictions.
