🥞 Sausage Dipped Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients:
-
10–12 cooked breakfast sausage links

1 cup pancake mix (or homemade pancake batter)

Prepare Pancake Batter:

In a bowl, mix the pancake mix, milk, egg, vanilla, and maple syrup until smooth. It should be slightly thicker than regular pancake batter to coat the sausages well.
