01 -
Pat fully cooked beef sausage links dry with paper towels and set aside.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, pure vanilla extract, and melted butter until fully combined.
04 -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined; some lumps are acceptable to avoid overmixing.
05 -
Dip each sausage link completely into the pancake batter, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
06 -
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter. Place the batter-coated sausages onto the hot surface and cook, turning occasionally, until the pancake coating is golden brown and cooked through, approximately 3 to 5 minutes per side.
07 -
Transfer the cooked sausage-dipped pancakes to a serving platter and serve warm, optionally accompanied by maple syrup.
