Pancake Sausage Bites

By á-24918

Not my recipe - but think it looks yummy - haven't tried it yet - think I may substitute bulk sausage for the patties when making the balls & then bake the balls in the oven before dipping in the batter. Let me know,

Ingredients

• canola oil for frying
• 1 package Jimmy Dean Original Sausage Patties (8 ct)
• Batter
• 1 1/2 cups bisquick
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk + 2 tablespoons
• Syrup
• 1 /2 cups Log Cabin original maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoon heavy whipping cream

Preparation

Step 1

Place about 2″ oil in a sauce pan and heat
Place the sausage patties in a medium bowl
Break them up so they are no longer formed
Form into small balls (I made 18)
Place the sausage balls in a large skillet over medium heat and cook for about 15 minutes, turning often
Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels
In a medium bowl, mix together the bisquick ,sugar and cinnamon
Whisk in the vanilla, egg and milk until smooth
Pick up each cooked sausage ball with a toothpick and dip into the batter, completely covering the sausage with batter
Carefully lower them into the oil and fry for about 1- 1½ minutes or until golden brown
Remove and drain on a paper towel lined plate

Maple Dipping Sauce
Pour the maple syrup into a small bowl and add the butter
Microwave for about 45 seconds
Remove and stir to incorporate the syrup and butter
Add the heavy whipping cream and stir
