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

12 small breakfast sausages (cocktail-sized)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Cooking spray or oil (for the skillet)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sausages:

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausages until browned and thoroughly cooked. Make sure they’re bite-sized; if they’re too big, you can cut them in half once cooked. Remove and set aside.

      Make the Pancake Batter:

        In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (a few lumps are okay).

          Heat the Skillet:

            Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.

              Cook the Pancake Bites:

                Pour about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Place one sausage piece in the center of each pancake round. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat this process until all batter and sausages are used.

                  Serve:

                    Stack the pancake sausage bites on a platter and drizzle with warm maple syrup. Enjoy them right away!
