Every now and then, we all find ourselves longing for some indulgent red, processed meat. Nobody here is innocent - we're all guilty of these cravings. For years, nutritionists have preached the principles of moderation and nutritional consciousness when it comes to such foods. In a nutshell, anything can be part of your diet, provided you don't leave it to chance. That's why it's worth investing in high-quality sausage. Once you get your hands on that, the fun truly begins.
However, there are times when we don't consume the entire sausage in one go and a piece inevitably ends up chilling in the fridge. Our go-to option for such leftovers typically extend to scrambled eggs or sandwiches. But what if we injected a dose of innovation and tried an absolutely zany—but phenomenal—recipe for... sausage pancakes? Apart from the star ingredient, you would also need kefir, eggs, cheddar cheese, a handful of spices and a lot of spirit. We certainly aren't short on the latter! Are you up for it? If yes, let's dive into the recipe!
Recipe for Sausage Pancakes
Ingredients:
- A piece of sausage (4-5 oz will suffice),
- 5 oz of cheddar cheese,
- 2 eggs,
- 1 and 1/4 cups of kefir,
- 6-7 tablespoons of flour,
- 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder,
- 1 teaspoon of dried garlic,
- Chives,
- Salt and pepper.
Preparation method:
- Grate the sausage using the medium holes on your grater. Repeat the process with the cheddar cheese. Rinse, dry and finely chop the chives.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and blend them with kefir. Stir in flour, baking powder, and spices until you get a fairly consistent mixture. Mix in the sausage, cheese, and chives. Season with salt, pepper, and dried garlic.
- Use the prepared batter to fry pancakes. Pour the batter into hot oil, allowing it to brown for around 3 minutes before flipping it over. Drain the excess oil on a paper towel. Serve your pancakes with a dollop of ketchup and savor every bite!
