Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Non-stick skillet or griddle
- Small cookie scoop or tablespoon
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all‑purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup plus more for serving
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage crumbled
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Optional Ingredients:
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Cooked bacon bits instead of sausage
- American or Colby‑Jack cheese
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Pancake Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, egg, melted butter, and maple syrup, whisking until smooth. The batter should be pourable but thick.
Step 2: Fold in the Fillings
- Gently fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheese. You want even distribution so every bite gets a little of everything.
Step 3: Heat the Skillet
- Heat a non‑stick skillet or griddle over medium‑low heat and lightly grease it. Proper heat ensures golden outsides without burning.
Step 4: Cook the Mini Bites
- Scoop small portions of batter onto the skillet. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side, until bubbles form and the bottoms are golden. Flip gently and cook until set.
Step 5: Serve Warm
- Transfer to a plate and keep warm while you finish cooking the remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup for dipping — trust me.
