    How to make pancakes on a stick

    pancakes on a stick

    Full steps with measurements are in the bottom of the post in the recipe card. This is a quick walk through. 

    1. Make sure the sausage links are cooked completely. 
    2. Heat vegetable oil in a shallow pan. 
    3. Mix pancake batter and maple syrup until it's thick like oatmeal. Insert a toothpick or skewer into the sausage links. 
    4. Check if the oil is hot enough by putting a wooden spoon handle in it. 
    5. Dip the sausages in the thick batter and put them in the pan. Turn them over within 2 seconds to keep their shape. 
    6. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes. Don't try to cook all of them at once, 2-3 at a time is good. 
    7. Serve the sausage pancakes warm with syrup, honey, or powdered sugar. 

    Tools for Pancakes and Sausage on Sticks

    Skewers or toothpicks

    These will be used to insert into the pancake batter and make the pancake on a stick. I find that skewers are a better size. You can use wooden skewers, just soak in water for 10 minutes to prevent them burning up. 

    Griddle or frying pan

    To cook the pancakes on a stick. A heavy duty pan is key so it heats the oil properly. Cheaper pans can heat unevenly and cause areas of the pancake to burn. 

    Tips For Success

    Batter

    Make sure the pancake batter is nice and thick. It is going to have an oatmeal consistency, as it is needed to be thicker to stick to the sausage. Just follow the directions when making. 

    Sausage 

    The sausage needs to be fully cooked as it fries for a short time and won't cook while on the stick. So once it is done place on a skewer once it cools a bit. 

    Paper Towel Lined Plate 

    Once the pancakes are done place on a paper towel lined plate. Let the excess oil drip off a bit so that it isn't as greasy. Then serve warm. 

    Oil 

    You need to use a peanut oil, canola, or vegetable oil. It needs a higher smoke threshold since you are frying the pancakes. Otherwise, you will create a smoky mess in your home if you use an oil like olive oil. 

    Pancake and Sausage on a Stick Variation to Recipe

    Bacon 

    Instead you can do bacon instead of sausage. This is a bit harder so you will kind of twirl the bacon strips around the skewer to mimic a sausage link. That way the pancake has something to hold on to. I would do a few slices of bacon to ensure it will stick. 

    Pancake Mix 

    You can use homemade pancake mix or a different brand if you want. I just used Bisquick but feel free to swap it out to whatever you want.

    Toppings 

    Toppings are endless from whipped cream, have fresh fruit on the side, drizzle on chocolate or caramel sauce. You can serve up your pancakes any way you want. Even with some peanut butter and jelly spread on the pancake would be delicious.

    • Place it into the pan and almost immediately turn it over. Turn it within 2 second to keep the shape from going flat. Cook on each side for 2-3 mins.
    • They cook quickly, however I do not advice trying to dip and cook them all at once. 2-3 in the pan at a time is enough to ensure you don’t overcook them.
    • Serve warm with syrup, honey or powered sugar.
