Gluten Free Pigs-In-A-Blanket

Gluten free pigs in a blanket are a fun breakfast treat. The minute you bite into these fluffy pancakes with slightly crispy edges and discover the spicy breakfast sausage inside, you’ll know it’s going to be a special day.

You’re sure to hear giggles from your children when you announce that you’re serving gluten free pigs in a blanket for breakfast. Seriously, though, they’re quite delicious.

Let me show you how easy they are to make.

Ingredients

• gluten free pancake mix prepared according to package directions (you’ll most likely need an egg, oil, and milk)
• gluten free sausages
• butter for greasing the pan

Instructions

First, prepare your pancake batter in a large bowl.

Now generously grease your griddle or skillet with butter over a medium heat until hot, but not smoking. Pour a quarter cup of batter for each pancake onto your skillet. When the edges start to brown, lift with a spatula and flip. Brown and remove to a plate.

Then wrap each pancake around a cooked gluten free sausage. And that’s it. Easy peasy.

Pro tips and recipe notes

• I prefer the taste of milk instead of water in my batter. So if you can tolerate dairy, go with milk. I think you’ll like them that way.
• Go with your favorite pancake mix. Today, I used Pamela’s gluten free baking & pancake mix for the pancake. I’ve also made this recipe with King Arthur pancake mix. It has a touch of honey flavor in it. Yum. 
• Choose your favorite sausages. I like Applegate Farms sausage because they’re not only gluten free, but also antibiotic free, with no added hormones. You may prefer Jones sausage which are all natural and gluten free, too. 
• Preheat your griddle on medium before pouring your batter on so that they’ll start to cook as soon as they hit the pan, but not too hot that they’ll scorch.
• Wipe you griddle after every batch and use a new pat of butter so that your butter doesn’t burn.
• Serving suggestions: Sprinkle each with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup and watch them disappear. You might prefer a pat of butter, honey, jam, candied nuts or even whipped cream. It’s up to you.

Happy cooking!
