Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I enjoy how it turns ordinary breakfast staples—pancake batter and sausage—into a handheld wonder that’s easy to make and fun to eat. Whether serving family or prepping for brunch, these are always a hit.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Pancake mix (or homemade batter)
Water or milk (depending on batter instructions)
Fully cooked sausage links
Maple syrup or preferred dipping sauce

Directions

I cook or use pre-cooked sausage links—ensure they’re ready to eat.
I prepare pancake batter—thinner than usual works best for wrapping.
I dip each sausage link into the batter until fully coated.
For a quick method, I place dipped sausages in a skillet or bake them in a baking dish until the pancake sets.
Alternatively, I bake wrapped sausages at 350°F for about 10–15 minutes to warm through and set the pancake.

Servings And Timing

I usually make about 6–12 sausage-dipped pancakes, depending on how many sausages I have. Prep takes around 10–15 minutes, plus about 10–15 minutes baking or cooking time.

Variations

I sometimes sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a sweet finish.
I’ve used smaller frozen pancakes to roll around sausage links and secured with a toothpick before baking.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2–3 days. To reheat, I gently warm them in the oven or microwave until heated through.

FAQs

Can I Use Pre-Cooked Sausages?

Yes, pre-cooked sausage links work beautifully and speed up prep.

Should The Pancake Batter Be Thinner Than Usual?

Yes—thinner batter wraps sausages more easily and cooks evenly.

Can I Bake Them Instead of Skillet Cooking?

Definitely—I bake them at 350°F for about 10–15 minutes to set the pancake and warm through.

What’s Best For Dipping?

Maple syrup is classic, though I’ve also tried fruit syrups or warmed nutella for fun.

Can I Use Frozen Pancakes?

Yes—using small frozen pancakes makes prep easier; just roll them around the sausage and bake.

Conclusion

I love how Sausage Dipped Pancakes bring together savory sausage and light, fluffy pancakes into a fun, portable breakfast. They’re easy to prepare, delightfully novel, and perfect for dipping—and dipping again!
