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)

Equipment

  • skewers
  • whisk
  • frying pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • deep fryer or large pot
  • tongs
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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)
  3. 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).
  4. 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)
  5. 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).
  6. Use tongs to remove the sausages from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  7. Serve the Pancake Sausage on a Stick warm with maple syrup for dipping and top with powdered sugar, if desired.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, you can bake the sausages in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes instead of frying them.
  • You can use any type of sausage you prefer, including turkey or vegetarian sausages.
  • Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying to achieve a crispy coating without absorbing too much oil.
  • These can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes before using to prevent burning.
