Ready to make some delicious Sausage Pancake Bites? Let’s get cooking!

1. Cook the Sausage:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
   • Once cooked, remove the sausage from the skillet and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess grease. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Pancake Batter:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
   • In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until blended.
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix! It’s okay if there are a few lumps—overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
3. Fold in the Sausage:
   • Carefully fold in the cooked sausage into the pancake batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
4. Preheat the Griddle:
   • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter. You want it hot enough so that a drop of water sizzles when it hits the surface.
5. Cook the Pancake Bites:
   • Using a small scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the hot griddle, leaving space between each one.
   • Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
   • Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the griddle as needed.
6. Keep Warm:
   • As the bites cook, you can keep them warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you finish the rest.
7. Serve:
   • Serve these delightful bites warm with maple syrup, honey, or your favorite fruit preserves. Enjoy the combination of fluffy pancake and savory sausage in every mouthful!
