Ingredients
Scale
Batters and Mix
- 3 cups pancake mix
- 1/4 cup syrup
- Butter (for topping)
Sausage and Cheese
- 1 lb breakfast sausage, browned and drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Brown the Sausage: Brown 1 lb of breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain the excess grease and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare Pancake Mix: Follow the instructions on the pancake mix box to prepare the batter. This usually involves mixing the pancake mix with water and/or eggs.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir the browned sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup syrup into the prepared pancake batter until evenly combined.
- Prepare Sheet Pan: Spray a sheet pan with cooking spray to ensure the pancakes do not stick during baking.
- Pour Batter on Pan: Pour the combined batter evenly onto the prepared sheet pan and spread it out to the edges for an even thickness.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, until the pancakes are golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from oven, top the baked pancakes with butter and additional syrup as desired, then slice and serve warm for a hearty breakfast.
Notes
- Drain the sausage grease well to avoid a greasy pancake texture.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with other cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for variation.
- If you prefer a sweeter pancake, drizzle additional syrup on top before serving.
- Use a rimmed sheet pan to prevent batter overflow.
- These pancakes are best served fresh but can be refrigerated and reheated.
