Ingredients

Scale
  • Dry Ingredients:
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • Wet Ingredients:
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Additional Ingredients:
    • 12 oz breakfast sausage links (e.g., Johnsonville or your preferred brand)
    • 1½–2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
    • Powdered sugar and maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausages:
    • Cook the sausage links according to the package instructions until browned and cooked through.
    • Allow them to cool slightly, then cut each link into 3 equal pieces.
  2. Make the Pancake Batter:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and baking powder.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk until well combined.
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing.
  3. Heat the Oil:
    • In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
  4. Coat the Sausages:
    • Using a fork or skewer, dip each sausage piece into the pancake batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
  5. Fry the Sausage Bites:
    • Carefully place a few batter-coated sausage pieces into the hot oil at a time.
    • Fry for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
    • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked bites to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. Serve:
    • If desired, dust the bites with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil maintains a consistent temperature to achieve even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan while frying to prevent the oil temperature from dropping.
  • These bites can be made ahead and reheated in an oven or air fryer for a quick breakfast option.
