Description
Enjoy this hearty, savory pancake stack as a satisfying breakfast or brunch option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 lb ground sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Maple syrup or hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Make the Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Some lumps are okay.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour a small amount of batter onto the skillet (1/4 cup for each pancake). Sprinkle cooked sausage and shredded cheese on top before the batter sets. When bubbles form on the pancake surface, flip and cook until golden brown. Repeat the process until all batter is used.
- Assemble the Stack: Stack the pancakes on a plate, layering additional cheese between if desired. Keep warm in a low oven if making in advance.
Notes
- Ensure the skillet is well-heated before adding batter for even cooking.
- Replace buttermilk with regular milk mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar if needed.
- Add herbs or spices like chives or black pepper to the batter for extra flavor.
- For a spicy kick, consider adding diced jalapeños to the batter or topping with hot sauce.
