Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
2. Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, ~2–3 minutes. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.
Keep pancakes warm on a plate covered with foil.
3. Cook the Sausages
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Add sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and fully cooked through (internal temp 160°F / 71°C for pork). ~10 minutes
If pan is dry, add a teaspoon of olive oil.
4. Scramble the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
Pour eggs into the pan and let sit for a few seconds.
Gently stir with a spatula, folding the eggs over themselves until softly set but still creamy. Remove from heat slightly undercooked as they continue to cook from residual heat.
5. Assemble the Breakfast Plate
Stack pancakes on one side.
Place scrambled eggs next to them.
Arrange sausages on the plate.
Add maple syrup, or berries as desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I make pancakes ahead of time?
Yes! Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (90°C) oven for up to 20 minutes or refrigerate and reheat in a skillet or microwave.
Q: How do I keep scrambled eggs soft?
Cook slowly over medium-low heat and remove from the pan just before fully set. Residual heat finishes cooking them.

Absolutely! Adjust cooking times according to the product instructions.
