Ingredients
1 cup flour
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Salt
1 1/3 cups low-fat buttermilk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons maple syrup, plus more for serving, optional
1/2 cup diced apples
3/4 cup Jimmy Dean(R) Hearty Original Sausage Crumbles
2 tablespoons butter, for greasing griddle
Cinnamon Walnut Butter, recipe follows
Cinnamon-Walnut Butter
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons toasted walnuts, finely chopped
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a large measuring cup combine the buttermilk, egg, and 3 tablespoons maple syrup and stir with a fork. Stir into the flour mixture with a spatula until just combined. Mix in the diced apple and sausage crumbles.
- Heat a pancake griddle over medium-low heat and then grease with a small amount of butter. Drop ladles of batter to form 4-inch pancakes, cooking pancakes for 2 to 3 minutes before flipping, or until the batter puffs up and bubbles form. Flip pancakes and continue to cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until cooked through and nicely browned. Top with Cinnamon Walnut Butter and additional maple syrup, if desired.
