Method
Pancake Preparation
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and melted unsalted butter. Mix well until fully combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are okay. Do not overmix.
Preheat the Griddle
Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Cook the Pancakes
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve
Serve the pancakes warm with butter and syrup, if desired.
Sausage Preparation
Cook the Sausage
While the pancakes are cooking, heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage links of your choice (breakfast, chicken, or vegan) and cook according to package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through.
Serve with Pancakes
Serve the cooked sausage links alongside the pancakes for a complete breakfast.
