Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 8 breakfast sausage links
Batter Ingredients:
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 3/4 cup milk (180 milliliters)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Serving and Cooking Additions:
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
- Sizzle sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fully cooked, then transfer to a plate.
- Whisk pancake mix, milk, egg, and melted butter in a mixing bowl until batter becomes uniformly smooth and lump-free.
- Lightly grease a skillet with butter and heat over medium temperature.
- Ladle small circles of batter onto the hot skillet, creating petite pancakes approximately 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Allow pancakes to cook until tiny bubbles emerge across the surface, then carefully flip and cook the reverse side until light golden.
- Gently envelop each sausage link with a warm pancake, creating a cozy blanket-like wrap.
- Secure each wrapped sausage with a toothpick if needed to maintain the compact shape.
- Present the pigs in a blanket immediately while warm, accompanied by a drizzle of pure maple syrup for enhanced flavor.
Notes

- Use low-fat turkey sausages for a healthier twist on this classic breakfast dish.
- Gluten-free pancake mix works perfectly for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Prep pancakes slightly smaller than the sausage length to ensure neat wrapping and easy eating.
