1½ cups all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
4 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions
-
Cook the Sausage
Cook the sausage links according to the package instructions and set aside. -
Make the Pancake Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. -
Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Pour 3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet and gently spread into a round.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the underside is golden.
Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat. -
Wrap the Sausage
While the pancake is still hot, place a sausage link in the center and roll it up, placing it seam-side down on a plate to hold its shape. -
Repeat
Continue cooking and rolling until all sausages and batter are used.
-
Serve
Serve warm with maple syrup poured over the top or served on the side for dipping.
Notes
-
Syrup is not included in the nutritional information.
-
These can be frozen and reheated for a quick breakfast.
-
Try flavored pancakes by adding mini chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped bananas to the batter.
-
You can adjust pancake size depending on preference or sausage link size.
-
Be careful when rolling hot pancakes—roll immediately while still hot to help them form and hold their shape.
-
Cook multiple pancakes at once to save time, depending on the size of your skillet.
