1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for batter)

1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, savory boost)

Instructions
Cook the Sausage

Brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess grease.

Stir in cheese while warm and set aside.

Make the Pancake Batter

Prepare pancake mix as directed (usually mix + water + egg).

For extra flavor, add 1 tbsp maple syrup (sweet) or garlic powder (savory).

Assemble & Cook

Heat a griddle or pan over medium-low. Lightly grease with butter/oil.

Pour ¼ cup pancake batter onto the griddle. Immediately press 1 tbsp sausage-cheese mix into the center.

Cover with another ¼ cup batter to encase the sausage.

Cook until bubbles form (2-3 mins), flip, and cook until golden.

Serve

Stack pancakes and drizzle with maple syrup or top with a fried egg.
