I'm one of those people who believes that everything tastes better on a stick. Be it Popsicles, Chicken on a Stick, Peas in a Pop. … There's just something about food with a handle that says, "I'm telling you, you want to pick me up and find out just how delicious I am". Or something like that. When I presented my kids with a glass filled with an arrangement of these Pancake Sausage Muffins on a Stick for breakfast one recent morning, both of their eyes were as wide as saucers. My son plucked one out and meticulously dipped it in his dish of syrup prior to each bite while my daughter tore into three at the same time, first pulling out the sausages to eat, then bathing the gutted pancake muffins in syrup before stuffing her little mouth with them.
This dish will probably take you less time to make than a platter of pancakes with sautéed sausage on the side—and the fun factor is definitely way higher. Just ask your kids, who I guarantee will agree with me that everything indeed tastes better on a stick!
