Sweet and Savory Sausage Pancakes Delight for Breakfast (Print version)

Tender baked pancake bites with browned breakfast sausage inside and a salty maple butter for dipping or drizzling.

# Ingredients:

For the sausage pancakes

01 - 8 oz (225 g) breakfast sausage links
02 - 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
03 - 2 tablespoons sugar
04 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
06 - 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk
07 - 1/2 cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt
08 - 1 large egg
09 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
10 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup
11 - Nonstick spray or extra butter, for the pan

For the maple butter

12 - 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter, softened
13 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup
14 - Pinch of flaky salt

# Instructions:

01 - Heat the oven to 400 F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well with nonstick spray or butter.
02 - Cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until browned and hot, about 2 minutes per side if fully cooked. Cool slightly, then cut into small bite-size pieces.
03 - Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until evenly combined.
04 - In a second bowl, whisk the milk, Greek yogurt, egg, melted butter, and maple syrup. Stir into the dry ingredients just until combined.
05 - Divide the batter among the muffin cups. Press sausage pieces into each cup, leaving a few visible on top. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden.
06 - Stir the softened butter, maple syrup, and flaky salt until smooth. Serve the warm sausage pancakes with maple butter for dipping or drizzling.

# Good to know:
