Ingredients
Scale
Option 1: Crescent Roll Version
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 fully cooked breakfast sausages (pork, turkey, or chicken)
- 1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
Crescent Roll Version (Baked)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wrap the Sausages: Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Roll each sausage in a triangle, starting from the wide end.
- Bake: Place on a baking sheet seam-side down. Brush with melted butter and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Drizzle with maple syrup or serve with mustard, ketchup, or honey butter!
Pancake Batter Version (Skillet or Air Fryer)
- Make the Pancake Batter: In a bowl, whisk together pancake mix, milk, egg, and vanilla. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat the Pan: Lightly grease a skillet with butter or cooking spray over medium heat.
- Coat the Sausages: Dip each sausage in the batter, coating evenly.
- Cook:
- Skillet: Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Air Fryer: Preheat to 375°F, place dipped sausages in the basket, and cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Serve: Enjoy with maple syrup, jam, or powdered sugar!
Notes
- Make it cheesy! Add a slice of cheddar or American cheese before rolling.
- Healthier Option: Use whole wheat crescent rolls or turkey sausages.
- Meal Prep: Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months and reheat in the oven or air fryer.
