Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (plus extra for serving)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the cooked sausage, maple syrup, and shredded cheese until evenly distributed.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each bite. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with extra maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
- For a sweeter twist, add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter before cooking.
- Substitute the breakfast sausage with cooked bacon or turkey sausage for a different flavor profile.
