- 3 Tablespoons butter, divided
- 8 pre-cooked sausage patties
- Syrup for dipping (if desired)
Directions
- Combine the pancake mix and water in a bowl. Stir until just blended; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Heat half of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted.
- Dip half of the sausage patties into the batter until evenly coated. Place them in the skillet.

- Flip the patties and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, until the pancake is cooked through.
- Repeat this process with the remaining butter, batter, and sausage patties. Serve with syrup for dipping if you like.
How to Serve Easy Sausage Pancakes

How to Store Easy Sausage Pancakes
If you have leftovers, let the pancakes cool down and then place them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for about 3 to 4 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a microwave or on a skillet.
Tips to Make Easy Sausage Pancakes
