Mini Sausage Pancake Skewers With Spicy Syrup Food

MINI VERY BERRY PANCAKE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Stir rice vinegar into milk. Set aside to "sour", about 5 minutes.
• Combine milk mixture, flour, butter, eggs, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until lumps are gone.
• Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add oil. Pour 1/2 tablespoon of batter for each pancake. Cook until bottom side is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Place 3 to 5 mini pancakes on each skewer. Top with raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries, drizzle with some syrup, and sprinkle with some powdered sugar.

MINI SAUSAGE PANCAKE SKEWERS WITH SPICY SYRUP

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Stir in maple syrup, red pepper flakes, and salt. Bring to a boil and cook, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove syrup from heat and set aside, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes for flavor to fully develop.
• Meanwhile, prepare pancakes: whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk buttermilk, egg, sour cream, melted butter, and maple syrup together in a separate bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined but slightly lumpy; do not overmix. Let sit for 10 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Drop teaspoonfuls of batter onto the hot skillet to form 1-inch diameter pancakes. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, flip, and continue cooking until golden brown, about 1 more minute. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
• Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Form tablespoonfuls of sausage into 1-inch patties, the same size as the mini pancakes. Cook until patties are cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Thread 3 pancakes and 2 sausage patties onto each skewer, starting and ending with a pancake. Repeat to make remaining skewers. Serve drizzled with spicy syrup.
