MINI SAUSAGE AND WAFFLE BITES

Steps:

• Using the palms of your hands, take a dollop of the sausage and begin forming 8 small patties, about the size of silver dollars.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, and fry each patty until they are cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side.
• Cut each cheese slice into fourths and place two on each patty.
• Toast your waffles, then spread jam on one side. Cut them into fourths if you're using full-size waffles. Place a sausage patty with cheese on a prepared waffle, and top with another piece of waffle. Continue until you have eight mini sandwiches.
• Use toothpicks to hold each waffle bite together for serving.

• Meanwhile, prepare pancakes: whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk buttermilk, egg, sour cream, melted butter, and maple syrup together in a separate bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined but slightly lumpy; do not overmix. Let sit for 10 minutes.

• Thread 3 pancakes and 2 sausage patties onto each skewer, starting and ending with a pancake. Repeat to make remaining skewers. Serve drizzled with spicy syrup.
