Step 2 – Make the Pancake Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
(Do not overmix—lumps are fine. Overmixing can make the bites tough.)
Step 3 – Assemble the Bites
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup.
- Place a sausage piece in the center of the batter.
- Cover the sausage with a small spoonful of batter, just enough to seal it in.
Step 4 – Bake
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the bites cool in the pan for 2–3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Step 5 – Serve and Enjoy
- Serve warm, with a side of maple syrup for dipping.
- For a fun presentation, arrange them on a platter with toothpicks for easy grabbing.
- Pair with fresh fruit, coffee, or juice for a complete breakfast.
Pro Tips for Success
- Use pre-cooked sausage to save time and ensure the meat is fully cooked.
- For extra flavor, brush the tops with melted butter right after baking.
- You can make these ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days—just reheat in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes.
- Freeze for longer storage: Let them cool completely, freeze on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat from frozen at 175°C (350°F) for about 8–10 minutes.
