Ingredients
  

Pancake Ingredients
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1.5 cups Whole Milk
  • 2 Large Eggs lightly beaten
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter melted
  • 1 lb Ground Breakfast Sausage cooked and crumbled
  • 1.5 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • Maple Syrup for serving

Equipment

  • 1 18x13 inch Sheet Pan
  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 2 Mixing Bowls

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease an 18x13 inch sheet pan generously with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground breakfast sausage until fully browned. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. While whisking, slowly stream in the melted butter until combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan, spreading it into an even layer. Evenly sprinkle the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pancake is golden, puffed, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the pancake to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before slicing into squares. Serve warm with maple syrup.

Notes

Tip 1: For the fluffiest pancakes, ensure your baking powder is not expired.
Tip 2: Shredding your own cheese from a block results in a better melt compared to pre-shredded varieties.
Tip 3: Don't overmix the batter! A lumpy batter makes for a tender pancake.
