Pancake on a Stick
Equipment
- skewers
- whisk
- frying pan
- Mixing bowl
- measuring cups and spoons
- deep fryer or large pot
- tongs
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 12 breakfast sausage links fresh or pre cooked
- 2 cups pancake mix (plus 1/3 cup) May also need eggs, milk, and oil based on which pancake mix you use
- vegetable oil for frying
- maple syrup for serving
- powdered sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Cook sausages in a frying pan or skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Let them cool slightly and insert a skewer into each sausage.
- Make pancake mix according to recipe for 2 cups of mix. Add 1/3 cup more of mix little at a time until thick enough to fall slowly out off the whisk. (If it gets too thick you can add a splash of milk)
- Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or large pot until it's about 4 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip each sausage into the pancake batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off. (I find it best to pour the batter into a tall cup for dipping to help coat the sausage better)
- Carefully place the coated sausages into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Use tongs to remove the sausages from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
