Ingredients
14 breakfast sausages
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
¼ cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons bacon, cooked, finely chopped
4 cups canola oil
powdered sugar for serving
Maple syrup for serving

Directions

1. Heat a large pan over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the breakfast sausages to the pan and cook for 12 minutes, turning constantly, until crispy and browned.
2. Drain the sausages on paper towels and let cool. Insert a small ice pop stick in each sausage. Set aside.
3. Make the pancake batter: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Use your hands to make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Pour the milk, eggs, and melted butter into the well, then stir the center, working your way out until the mixture is thick and well combined. Fold in the bacon.
4. Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
5. Pour the pancake batter into a tall glass, then dip a sausage stick into the mixture.
6. Use tongs to gently place the battered sausage into the hot oil and cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Drain on paper towels or a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining sausages.
7. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup.
