Ingredients

• 8 ounces Breakfast sausage
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0 Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked through. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks. Once done, remove the sausage from the skillet and let it cool on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess grease.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold the cooked sausage crumbles into the waffle batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the waffle plates if required.

Step 7

Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle maker (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your waffle maker size). Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the sausage waffles warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or your favorite waffle toppings.
