Ingredients
Meat
- 12 breakfast sausage links, cooked
Refrigerated
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Baking & Spices
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
Dairy
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/3 cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Prepare the Pancake Batter : In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and sea salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth and lump-free.
- Preheat and Prep : Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with butter or cooking spray. Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes while the skillet heats up.
- Cook the Sausages : If not already cooked, brown the breakfast sausage links in the skillet until fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Wrap the Sausages : Pour a small scoop of batter onto the skillet, forming a rectangle slightly larger than the sausage link. Quickly place a sausage link in the center of the batter before it sets. Use a spatula to gently fold the batter around the sausage as it cooks, creating a “blanket.” Flip carefully and cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining sausages and batter.
- Serve Warm : Serve your Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or your favorite breakfast sides.
