Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 breakfast sausage links
- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/3 cups (325 ml) buttermilk
- 1 large egg
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat a flat cooking surface over medium warmth, preparing for golden, crispy breakfast delights.
- Create the pancake foundation by whisking together dry ingredients, ensuring a smooth, lump-free mixture.
- Separately blend liquid components, incorporating buttermilk, beaten egg, melted butter, and aromatic vanilla extract.
- Gently merge wet and dry mixtures, stirring minimally to maintain a light, airy texture.
- Submerge each savory sausage link completely into the silky batter, guaranteeing full, even coverage.
- Carefully place batter-coated sausages onto the preheated surface, allowing them to transform into a crisp, caramelized exterior.
- Monitor cooking process, rotating sausages periodically to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration on all sides.
- Verify internal doneness by confirming sausages are thoroughly cooked and pancake coating appears perfectly set.
- Transfer the delectable breakfast treats to serving plates, presenting them while still warm and inviting.
- Accompany with your preferred syrup, drizzling generously to enhance the sweet and savory combination.
Notes
- Adjust the batter consistency by adding more flour if it’s too runny or a splash of buttermilk if too thick for smooth coating.
- Choose lean breakfast sausages to reduce overall fat content and make the dish lighter.
- Experiment with gluten-free flour blend to create a celiac-friendly version of this breakfast treat.
- Use turkey or chicken sausage as a healthier alternative to traditional pork sausage for those watching their red meat intake.
