Pro Tips & Suggestions
- Use fully cooked sausages – Cuts down on cook time and keeps it juicy.
- Don’t skimp on batter – Thick pancakes hold the sausage better.
- Add hot sauce – For that spicy/sweet balance if you’re not into sweet meats.
- Try maple sausage – If you are into sweet meats (no judgment here).
