# Ingredients:
→ Pancake Sausage Dippers
01 -
12 small breakfast sausages
02 -
Cooking oil or butter
03 -
200 g all-purpose flour
04 -
25 g granulated sugar
05 -
8 g baking powder
06 -
3 g salt
07 -
250 ml milk
08 -
1 large egg
09 -
28 g melted unsalted butter
10 -
5 ml vanilla extract (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausages until uniformly browned and thoroughly cooked, approximately 5–7 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess fat and allow to cool slightly.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, beaten egg, melted butter, and optional vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are acceptable.

For easier handling and a presentation similar to mini corn dogs, you may insert small wooden skewers into each sausage. Dip each sausage into the prepared pancake batter, ensuring it is fully and evenly coated.
04 -
Choose your preferred cooking method: Pan Method: Heat a lightly oiled nonstick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the batter-coated sausages in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, rotating until golden brown and cooked through. Deep-Frying Method (for a crispier texture): Heat cooking oil in a deep pot to 175°C (350°F). Carefully place the batter-coated sausages into the hot oil and fry for approximately 2 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Remove and drain on paper towels.
05 -
Serve the pancake sausage dippers warm. Recommended accompaniments include maple syrup, honey, or a honey mustard dipping sauce.
# Notes:
01 -
For fluffy pancakes, mix the wet and dry ingredients just until combined. A few lumps are acceptable; avoid overmixing the batter.
02 -
Ensure each sausage is fully coated in batter for optimal texture and flavor distribution. Using a skewer can facilitate even coating.
03 -
While maple syrup is a classic pairing, consider serving with honey, fruit jam, or a spicy honey mustard for a delicious variation.
04 -
For a cheesy center, wrap each breakfast sausage in a small slice of cheddar or mozzarella before dipping it into the batter.
05 -
Enhance the flavor profile by using spicy breakfast sausages and incorporating a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper into the pancake batter.
06 -
To create a comprehensive brunch platter, serve these dippers alongside scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and fresh fruit.
