Ingredients
Scale
-
- For the Pancakes:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter or oil
-
- For the Filling:
- 6–8 breakfast sausage links or patties, cooked and crumbled
- 6 eggs, scrambled
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- Optional Toppings:
- Maple syrup
- Fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, bananas)
- Whipped cream
- Greek yogurt
- Avocado slices
Instructions
- Make the Pancake Batter: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, mix milk, egg, and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth (some lumps are fine).
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form, then flip. Aim for 5–6 inch pancakes.
- Prepare the Filling: Cook sausage until browned, then crumble. Scramble eggs and season with salt and pepper. Stir in cheese if desired.
- Assemble the Tacos: Place eggs and sausage in the center of each pancake. Add toppings like syrup, yogurt, or fruit. Fold into taco shape and serve warm.
- Pro Tip: Use a muffin tin or taco holder to keep pancakes upright for serving.
Notes
- Cook pancakes slightly smaller (5–6 inches) so they fold easily.
- Keep pancakes warm in a towel while preparing fillings.
- Offer both sweet and savory toppings for variety.
- Make-ahead: Store pancakes and filling separately, then assemble fresh.
- Use gluten-free or dairy-free swaps if needed.
