Buttermilk Pancakes and Chicken Sausage

This is a combo post, my husband makes the best pancakes, thin, tender and full of buttermilk flavor, and they are exceptionally easy to make. I had some leftover ground chicken so I made sausage patties to go with the yummy pancakes!

Pancakes

Mix Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake mix with low fat buttermilk until you have the consistency you want, we like thin pancakes so the batter is a bit on the runny side. If you like larger, fluffier pancakes ensure the mixture is thicker, cook as normal. On occasion we put sliced banana's onto the pancake batter while cooking.

Sausage

1/2 lb ground white meat chicken

1/2 tsp poultry seasoning

1 tsp fresh sage leaves chopped finely

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp cayenne

salt and pepper

2 tbl maple syrup (this counters the savory flavors nicely)

1 tsp olive oil

bread crumbs (if needed, my chicken mixture was really wet so I added some bread crumbs)

Make into patties and fry in a non-stick skillet
