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.
