Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 8 breakfast sausage links
- Maple syrup, for serving
If you’re out of buttermilk, a simple substitute is mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and letting it sit for a few minutes. It’s a trick I learned from my abuela, who always had a solution up her sleeve.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F to keep the pancakes warm as you cook in batches.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay, as overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and place a sausage link in the center.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer the pancake-wrapped sausage to the oven to keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter and sausages.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, and enjoy the cozy goodness!
A tip from my kitchen to yours: if you prefer a crispier sausage, pre-cook them slightly before wrapping them in the batter. It adds an extra layer of flavor and texture that’s simply irresistible.
