  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage chopped or crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or American
  • Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing

Method
 

  1. Prepare the pancake batter by whisking together the pancake mix, milk, egg, and maple syrup until smooth.

  3. Spoon a small amount of batter into each section.
  4. Add a piece of cooked sausage and a pinch of shredded cheese on top.
  5. Cover with a little more pancake batter to enclose the filling.
  6. Cook until the bites are golden and puffed, and the cheese is melted inside.

Avoid overfilling to prevent spilling during cooking.
Best served warm with extra maple syrup for dipping.
