Equipment

  • nonstick skillet or griddle
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (plus more if needed)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 8 oz breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • neutral oil (vegetable or canola), for cooking
  • butter, for the skillet

Instructions
 

  • Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles until evenly browned. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk, then slowly whisk in the melted butter.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  • Fold the cooked sausage into the batter, or reserve it to serve on the side if preferred.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a thin layer of oil and a small pat of butter.
  • Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges are set and crispy, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute, until golden and cooked through.
  • Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil and butter as needed to maintain crispy edges.

Notes

For lighter pancakes, use turkey or chicken sausage. Dairy-free milk and butter substitutes work well. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes fluffy, and always use a mix of oil and butter in the skillet for crispy edges.
