Breakfast Beef In A Blanket (Print version)

Beef breakfast sausages tucked inside a fluffy pancake-style blanket and served warm with maple syrup.

# Ingredients:

For the beef blankets

01 - 8 fully cooked beef breakfast sausage links, or raw links cooked before coating
02 - 1 cup (120 g) complete pancake mix
03 - 2/3 cup (160 ml) milk, plus 1-2 tablespoons if needed
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
07 - Non-stick cooking spray

For serving

08 - 1/2 cup (120 ml) maple syrup, warmed

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and coat it lightly with non-stick spray.
02 - If using raw beef breakfast sausages, cook them fully according to the package directions before coating. Pat all sausages dry with a paper towel.
03 - Whisk the pancake mix, milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter in a medium bowl until smooth. Let the batter rest for 2 minutes. It should be thick enough to cling to a spoon.
04 - Dip each sausage into the batter and turn to coat. Let excess batter drip off, then place the sausage on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a little extra batter over any bare spots.
05 - Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the pancake coating is set, puffed, and lightly golden. Let rest on the pan for 2 minutes.
06 - Serve the beef in a blanket warm with maple syrup for dipping.

# Good to know:

01 - Use fully cooked beef breakfast sausages for the fastest prep.
02 - If batter spreads too much, whisk in 1 tablespoon pancake mix to thicken it.
03 - Best served warm while the pancake coating is soft and lightly crisp at the edges.
