Savory mini pancake sausage bites blend breakfast classics into irresistible bite-sized treats. Delightful morsels combine fluffy pancakes with hearty sausage for a compact morning delight you’ll crave.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 breakfast sausage links (fully cooked)
- ¾ cup (180 ml) milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsps granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- Maple syrup (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Setup: Configure oven to 375F (190C) and thoroughly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray to ensure effortless release.
- Dry Mixture Preparation: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl until uniformly distributed, creating a consistent dry foundation.
- Liquid Integration: Combine milk, egg, and melted butter in a separate container, then delicately fold into dry ingredients until just incorporated, maintaining a slightly lumpy texture.
- Sausage Positioning: Slice sausage links into bite-sized medallions that will comfortably fit within muffin cavities.
- Batter and Protein Assembly: Fill each muffin compartment halfway with batter, carefully nestling a sausage piece in the center, then gently cover with an additional batter layer.
- Baking Transformation: Place tin in preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, monitoring until bites develop a rich golden-brown exterior and pass the toothpick stability test.
- Cooling and Serving: Rest bites for five minutes post-baking, then carefully extract from tin and present alongside maple syrup for an enhanced flavor experience.
Notes
- Measure Precisely: Use exact measuring tools for flour, baking powder, and liquid ingredients to ensure consistent texture and rise in pancake bites.
- Avoid Overmixing Batter: Stir ingredients until just combined to prevent tough, dense mini pancakes; small lumps are perfectly acceptable and contribute to tender texture.
- Sausage Selection Matters: Choose pre-cooked or fully cooked sausage links to guarantee food safety and reduce potential cooking complications during baking process.
- Cooling Technique: Let bites rest in muffin tin for exactly five minutes to prevent breaking when removing, allowing them to set and maintain structural integrity.
