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.

SLAMMIN' SAUSAGE PANCAKES WITH HONEY MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• In a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat, brown the sausage while breaking it apart, for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan to paper towels. Discard excess grease or keep 2 tablespoons for frying the pancakes.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg yolks until smooth and velvety. Reserve the egg whites in a third bowl. Add buttermilk and egg yolks to the flour mixture. Stir with a spoon until well incorporated. Add the melted butter and stir until well incorporated. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites in a bowl until stiff peaks are formed, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Fold the egg whites into the batter using a rubber spatula. Batter should be fluffy.
• In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons of the reserved sausage fat. Working in batches, ladle the batter in the pan to form 4-inch pancakes. Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of cooked sausage onto each pancake. Batter should puff up around sausage. Cook each pancake for 2 to 3 minutes then flip, cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until nicely browned and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter and sausage.
• Once finished, remove the pancakes from the pan onto a platter. Spread liberally with the Honey-Maple Butter and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with maple syrup.
• Put the butter, honey, maple syrup, salt and cinnamon into a bowl. Mix well with a wooden spoon until well incorporated. Set aside until ready to use.

FRUITY MINI PANCAKE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Whisk milk, egg, butter, and amaretto extract together in a second bowl. Pour wet ingredients into the flour mixture, and mix until batter is well combined and smooth.
• 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.
• Stack ingredients on a work surface as follows: pancake, banana, pancake spread with cream cheese, pancake, strawberry, and pancake. (Each skewer will use 4 pancakes.) Insert a skewer through the center of the stack and repeat to make remaining skewers.
• Dust with confectioners sugar, and serve.
