How to Serve Sausage Dipped Pancakes

How to Store Sausage Dipped Pancakes

If you have leftovers, let the pancakes cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave.

Tips to Make Sausage Dipped Pancakes

• Make sure not to overmix the batter; it’s okay if it’s a little lumpy. This helps keep the pancakes fluffy.
• Use a non-stick griddle or skillet to prevent sticking when cooking.
• Experiment with different types of sausages; spicy or sweet sausages can add a nice twist.

Variation

You can add ingredients like chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts to the pancake batter for extra flavor. Additionally, consider using vegan sausages for a plant-based version of this recipe.
