Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 12 breakfast sausage links
• Maple syrup (for serving)

Preparation Steps

Making the Pancake Batter

1. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy.

Cooking the Sausage

1. Cook the Sausage Links:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage links until they are browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.

Assembling the Sausage Bites

Combining Sausage and Batter

1. Prepare the Muffin Tins:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
2. Fill the Muffin Tins:
   • Pour a tablespoon of pancake batter into each muffin cup. Place a cooked sausage link into the center of each cup, then top with another tablespoon of batter, ensuring the sausage is covered.

Baking Instructions

Preheating the Oven
