Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk
12–14 sausage links (e.g., Johnsonville Original Recipe Breakfast Sausage Links)
Butter and maple syrup (for serving)
1½–2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
12–14 apple skewers
Instructions
-
Prepare the Sausages: Cook the sausage links according to the package instructions. Grill, pan-fry, or bake them until fully cooked and browned. Let them cool slightly before inserting the skewers.
-
Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk, then add them to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth.
-
Prepare the Skewers: Insert apple skewers into each sausage link, ensuring the skewer goes through the center, leaving enough for easy handling.
-
Heat the Oil: In a pot or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping a bit of batter into the oil—it should sizzle and rise to the top.
-
Coat the Sausages: Dip each sausage-on-a-stick into the pancake batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let excess batter drip off before frying.
-
Fry the Sausage Pancakes: Lower each skewered sausage into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Work in batches if needed to maintain oil temperature.
-
Drain and Serve: Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with maple syrup and butter.
Notes
Spicy Sausage: Use spicy sausage links for an added flavor kick.
Fruit Addition: Incorporate mashed bananas or blueberries into the batter for a fruity twist.
Mini Sausage Sticks: Use mini or cocktail sausages for a bite-sized version of this dish. Adjust frying time accordingly.
Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
