Instructions
Cook the Sausages
- Start by cooking the breakfast sausages according to package instructions (pan-fry, bake, or air-fry). Set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Pancake Batter
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, and egg. Whisk until smooth, leaving some lumps.
Make the Pancake Wrappers
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter for each mini pancake, slightly longer than the sausages. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden.
Wrap the Sausages
- Wrap each cooked sausage in a mini pancake. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Serve and Enjoy
- Brush the finished bites with melted butter for a shiny finish. Serve with syrup or powdered sugar for dipping.

Notes
Thickness Matters: Ensure pancakes are thin enough to wrap but thick enough to hold sausages.
