My kids love sausage and pancakes but making them during the week was out of the question. I purchased the frozen variety on a stick but wasn't keen on the calories, additives or price. This version of pigs in a blanket is a great alternative that's much more cost effective. —Lisa Dodd, Greenville, South Carolina


Test Kitchen tip
  • To make pancakes, pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot greased griddle or skillet. Turn when bubbles begin to form and the edges are golden. Cook until the second side is golden. Meanwhile, prepare sausage according to package instructions; serve with warm pancakes.
  • Freeze option: Freeze cooled muffins in freezer containers. To use, microwave each muffin on high until heated through, 20-30 seconds.
