Prepare pancake batter:

In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.

Using tongs or a fork, dip each cooked sausage into the pancake batter, coating it evenly.

Cook sausage-dipped pancakes:

Mini sausages work great for kid-friendly breakfast bites.
-
You can prepare batter-dipped sausages ahead of time and refrigerate; cook just before serving.
I can also give a baked version on a sheet pan, which makes multiple sausage-dipped pancakes at once—perfect for feeding a crowd. Do you want that version?
