- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter

How to Serve Sausage Dipped Pancakes
Serve the Sausage Dipped Pancakes right off the skillet. Drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness. You can also serve them with fresh fruit or whipped cream if you like. They are great on their own or as part of a larger breakfast spread.
How to Store Sausage Dipped Pancakes
If you have leftovers, let the pancakes cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to three days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Place the pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer them to a freezer bag once frozen. They will keep for about two months in the freezer.
Tips to Make Sausage Dipped Pancakes
- Make sure not to overmix the batter. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; this will make the pancakes fluffier.
- Adjust the heat as needed. If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to cook them evenly.
- For a bit of extra flavor, consider adding some spices like cinnamon or vanilla extract to the pancake batter.
Variation
You can customize this recipe by adding shredded cheese or chopped herbs to the pancake batter. You can also swap the breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or a plant-based option for a different taste.
