Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Links

  • 12 cooked breakfast sausage links

Batter

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 ⅓ cups buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, well beaten
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat to prepare for cooking the pigs in a blanket.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and fine sea salt until fully combined.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, well-beaten egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Make the batter: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, ensuring not to overmix for tender pancakes.
  5. Coat sausage links: Dip each cooked breakfast sausage link into the pancake batter, making sure it is evenly and fully coated.
  6. Cook the pigs in a blanket: Place the batter-coated sausage links on the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until the pancake coating turns golden brown and is cooked through.
  7. Serve warm: Remove from the heat and serve these breakfast pigs in a blanket warm, accompanied by your favorite syrup for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

  • Use cooked sausage links to ensure they are fully cooked when the batter is done.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancake coating light and fluffy.
  • You can swap buttermilk with regular milk mixed with a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar as a substitute.
  • Serve with maple syrup, honey, or mustard for different flavor profiles.
  • For a healthier variation, try using turkey sausage links and whole wheat flour.
