Polka Dot Sausage Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
• Place sausages in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain on paper towels.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, white sugar, and salt; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add milk and shortening; mix well. Gradually stir in dry ingredients until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan. Arrange sausages on top of the batter.
• Bake in preheated oven until pancakes are golden brown and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Cut into 10 pieces and serve hot with butter and syrup.

Fold in sausage. , Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle;, turn when bubbles form on top. Cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with syrup. ,

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage and onion in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Set sausage mixture aside to cool.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Beat milk and eggs in another large bowl; stir flour mixture into egg mixture until batter is smooth. Add cooled sausage and onion to batter.
• Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup portions of batter onto hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 3 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In another mixing bowl combine eggs, milk, melted butter and vanilla.
• Add to flour mixture all at once.
• Stir mixture just till blended but still slightly lumpy.
• Pour 1/4 cup batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle.
• Sprinkle top with desired amount of chocolate chips or berries to make"polka dots".
• Cook till pancakes are golden brown, turning to cook second sides when pancakes have bubbly surfaces and slightly dry edges.

Steps:

• For the polenta cakes: In a saucepan, combine the milk, water, bay, and cayenne. Bring the mixture to a boil over low heat and season generously with salt. Take the seasoning to the edge of too salty. To do this you must taste as you go. Polenta acts as a salt eraser, if you don't season abundantly here you will never recover from it.
• Once the liquid is at a boil and is seasoned appropriately, sprinkle in the polenta, whisking constantly. Once the polenta is combined, switch over to a wooden spoon and stir frequently until the polenta has become thick. Taste the polenta to see if it has cooked through. If it still feels mealy and grainy, add some more milk or water and cook it to a thick consistency. Repeat this process, as needed, until the polenta feels smooth on your tongue, about 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and stir in the sage and mascarpone.
• Line a 7 by 7-inch square pan with plastic wrap. Pour the polenta into the prepared pan. Cover the top with more plastic wrap smoothed onto the surface of the polenta. Chill in the refrigerator until needed. (All of this can totally be done ahead of time, like yesterday! Cool!)
• For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the sausage in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
• In a food processor, puree the onions, fennel, celery, and garlic until it becomes a coarse paste. Season with salt and give a sprinkle of crushed red pepper.
• When the sausage is roasted, remove it from the oven and coarsely chop.
• Coat a wide, deep pot with olive oil and add the pureed veggies. Cook the veggies until they start to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce by half. Toss in the chopped sausage and the tomato puree. Taste and season with salt, if needed. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Remove the polenta from the pan and cut into desired shapes. Coat a nonstick saute pan with olive oil and bring to medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot and starting to smoke just a little, add the polenta shapes. Cook the polenta on both sides and finish by sprinkling with the Parmigiano.
• Transfer a few polenta cakes to a plate and top with the sausage sauce. Sprinkle with more grated Parmigiano.
• Place the pork shoulder in a bowl and keep cold until ready to use. Fill a large bowl with ice and place the bowl with the pork shoulder on top.
• Season the pork with garlic, salt, fennel seed, crushed red pepper, and coriander. Mix to combine well.
• Grind the pork shoulder twice through a grinding disk with large holes. Grind the meat into the bowl sitting on ice.
• Cook a small amount of the meat mixture to test for seasoning. Add more spices and salt, if needed. Thoroughly mix in a splash of cold water. Allow the seasoned pork to chill on ice or in the fridge before stuffing into the casing.
• Replace the grinder attachment with the horn. (Be sure to thoroughly clean the attachment area before proceeding.) Rub oil onto the horn, and then put the casing on, leaving a few inches of slack at the end.
• Stuff the casing, tie off the ends, and prick the sausage with a pin or the tip of a knife.
• Refrigerate the sausage until ready to cook.

Steps:

• Cut sausage links into 1/8-inch slices. In 10-inch skillet, cook sausage until brown; drain and set aside.
• In medium bowl, stir remaining ingredients with wire whisk or fork until blended.
• Brush griddle or skillet with vegetable oil or spray with cooking spray; heat griddle to 375°F or heat skillet over medium heat.
• For each pancake, place about 10 sausage slices randomly within a 3-inch circle on hot griddle. Pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter over sausage slices. Cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook other sides until golden brown.

Steps:

• Fill a large heavy pot or high-sided skillet fitted with a deep-frying thermometer with 1 inch of oil and heat over medium-high heat to 360 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, oat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg and 2 tablespoons oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Transfer the batter to a tall skinny glass or measuring cup (this step isn't completely necessary, but it will make coating the sausages easier).
• Working in batches of 3 or 4 sausages at a time, insert a lollipop or ice-pop stick into each sausage, pat off any excess moisture with a paper towel and dip into the pancake batter to fully coat, scraping off excess; it doesn't need to be a very thick coating, as the batter will puff up when frying. Carefully lower the entire thing (stick included) into the hot oil and fry until golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Use tongs to transfer to a paper towel or wire rack. Repeat with the remaining sausages. Cool slightly, then serve with maple syrup, if desired.
• To freeze, cool completely and then store in a ziptop bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, wrap loosely in a paper towel and microwave until heated through, about 40 seconds. Let cool slightly and enjoy!

Steps:

• Cook the breakfast sausage links in a cast-iron skillet, turning occasionally until done.
• In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, cornmeal and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
• Add the eggs, vanilla and water, adding more water as needed for the batter to become slightly thick (but not overly gloopy.) Start out by adding 1 cup, then work your way up to 3 cups or more.
• Heat some canola oil in a large pot over medium-high heat to about 350 degrees F. Drop in a bit of batter to see if it's ready; the batter should immediately start to sizzle but should not immediately brown/burn.
• Insert chopsticks into the cooked breakfast sausages so that they're two-thirds of the way through. Dip the sausages into the batter and allow any excess to drip off for a couple of seconds. Carefully drop into the oil (stick and all) and use tongs or a spoon to make sure it doesn't hit the bottom of the pan and stick. Flip it here and there to ensure even browning, and remove it from the oil when the outside is deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve with warm pancake syrup.

Steps:

• For the sausages: Mix the pork, brown sugar, salt, rosemary, sage and thyme in a bowl until well combined. Shape into four 4-inch-wide and 1/4-inch-thick circular patties.
• For the big fluffy pancake mix: In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. Continue whisking and gradually add the granulated sugar. Continue whisking until all the sugar is dissolved and the mixture forms stiff peaks.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, melted butter and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the pancake mix and stir to combine. Carefully fold in the egg white mixture, taking care not to overmix.
• For the big fluffy pancakes and sausage: Preheat a large nonstick pan over low heat and add the butter.
• Spray 3-inch round (2-inch tall) ring molds with cooking spray. Place the ring molds in your preheated pan and use a ladle to fill the molds two-thirds of the way with the pancake mix. Place a cover over the pan and let the pancakes cook for 10 minutes. Remove the cover and use tongs and a rubber spatula to help flip the ring molds with the pancakes. Cover and continue cooking for about 7 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, cook your sausage in a skillet over medium-low heat until the pork is fully cooked, about 4 minutes on each side.
• Remove the ring molds with the pancakes using tongs and a rubber spatula. The pancakes should slide right out. Add the sausage underneath your pancakes for even more height. Serve with butter and maple syrup.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk to combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk in the buttermilk, eggs and butter until combined.
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet. Fry four of the sausage patties until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour a scoop of batter over each of the patties and cook until golden; flip and continue cooking until the batter is set, another 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter and keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining four sausage pancakes in the same manner. Serve with maple syrup.

Steps:

• Divide sausage into 6 equal pieces, and press between plastic wrap to flatten into discs about 2 1/2 inches round and about 1/8 inch thick. Keep in the refrigerator until needed.
• Grate potatoes and transfer into a large bowl of cold water. Stir the grated potatoes with your hand for a few seconds, and then drain the potatoes in a strainer. Using your hands and/or a towel, squeeze out as much water as possible.
• Transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, cayenne, flour, and egg; mix thoroughly.
• Heat oil in large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. For each pancake, place down about 3 tablespoons of the potato mixture. Reduce heat to medium; top each pancake with a sausage patty, pressing it down lightly into the surface. Top each sausage patty with another heaping tablespoon of potato mixture and spread over the top until the sausage is covered. Flatten down with a spoon or spatula.
• Cook the first side until very well browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until browned, the sausage is no longer pink, and potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes more. Serve with diced roasted red peppers, sour cream, and fresh chives.
