INGREDIENT NOTES:

PANCAKE MIX:

  • Classic pancake mix is utilized to prepare the soft and fluffy bites. It is best to use the buttermilk pancake mix to make a soft, textured, and flavorful dish. We can also utilize the whole wheat pancakes to prepare a healthy breakfast.

BREAKFAST SAUSAGE LINKS:

  • Use the breakfast sausage to prepare these bites. Its savory taste will balance the sweet maple and butter. It is best to use the pork for the rich taste, though you can also utilize the chicken or turkey.

EGG:

  • It will help in binding the batter and provide a fluffy and tender texture. It is best to use the neutral temperature pancakes as they blend smoothly. You can also add the flex eggs instead if required.

MILK:

  • Milk is used to make the moist and light pancake bites. It is best to use whole milk to provide the rich taste, though we can also utilize the low-fat or dairy-free milk, as it works nicely. It will help to keep the consistency of the batter as well.

MAPLE SYRUP:

  • Maple syrup will add a naturally sweet taste to these pancake bites; it should be pure form for the best results. Combine it with butter to make the coating of the glaze. Use the pancake syrup instead if required.

BUTTER:

  • Use the butter to form the maple glaze and to add a rich taste to it. It will make the pancakes moist and use unsalted butter, so the pancakes will not become salty.

CINNAMON:

  • It will add a warm aroma to these bites and pairs well with the sausage and syrup. Cinnamon is not required to add, but it adds a nice aroma.

NON-STICK SPRAY:

  •  Grease the mold lightly with the cooking spray so they don’t get stuck. It is best to use the olive or avocado oil spray for this purpose.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Heat the air fryer at 175° C for 3 minutes.
  2. Include the eggs, pancake mix, milk, and cinnamon in the vessel and whisk to make it smooth.
  3. Then add the sausage pieces and slices, and then spray the molds lightly

  5. In the meantime, melt the butter in a saucepan on a low flame and mix the maple syrup in it.
