Alright, alright, lemme tell ya somethin’ ’bout cookin’ these pancake and sausage on a stick things in that there air fryer. You know, the ones them city folks are always yappin’ about. I seen ’em at the store, all froze up and lookin’ kinda fancy, so I figured, why not?
First off, “pancake and sausage on a stick air fryer time”, that’s what they call it, right? Sounds complicated, but it ain’t. It’s just like cookin’ anything else, only faster and with less mess, which is good ’cause I ain’t got time for scrubbin’ pots all day. I got chickens to feed and weeds to pull.
Now, them little sticks, they come frozen solid, like a well digger’s butt in January. You can’t just throw ’em in the fryer frozen solid, can ya? Well, maybe you can, but I don’t like takin’ chances. I let ’em sit out for a bit, not too long, just enough so they ain’t rock hard. Maybe five minutes, maybe ten, depends on how warm the kitchen is.
- First, you gotta warm up that air fryer thingamajig. I set mine to 375, just like the box said. Or maybe it was 360? Anyways, somewhere ’round there. Don’t go burnin’ your house down now.
- Then, you put them pancake sausage sticks in the basket. Don’t cram ’em all in there like sardines in a can. Give ’em some space, so they cook even. One layer, that’s what they say.
- Now, the waitin’ part. That’s always the hardest. The box says somethin’ about 15 minutes, but I always peek after 10, just to be sure. You know, sometimes them ovens, they run hot, sometimes they run cold. It’s like a mule, got its own mind.
I like my sausage cooked through, no pink stuff in the middle. And the pancake part, it gotta be golden brown, not all pale and doughy. So, I keep an eye on ’em. If they look like they need a little more time, I give ’em a little more time. If they’re gettin’ too dark, I take ’em out. It ain’t rocket science, folks.
Air fryer cooking time, that’s the key, but it ain’t the only thing. You gotta use your eyes and your nose too. If it smells burnt, it’s probably burnt. If it looks raw, it’s probably raw. Common sense, that’s what it is.
Now, some folks, they like to get all fancy with their cookin’. They add this and that, spices and sauces. Me? I keep it simple. These pancake and sausage sticks, they got enough flavor on their own. But if you want to dip ’em in somethin’, go ahead. Maple syrup is good. Ketchup is good too, if you’re into that sort of thing. My grandson, he likes to dip ’em in ranch dressin’. Kids these days, I tell ya.
Once they’re done, you gotta let ‘em cool down a bit. Don’t go bitin’ into one right out of the fryer, unless you want to burn your tongue off. I learned that the hard way, back when I was a young’un. Burnt my tongue on a hot biscuit, couldn’t taste nothin’ for a week.
So, there you have it. Pancake and sausage on a stick in the air fryer. Easy peasy. Even an old woman like me can do it. And let me tell you, they’re mighty tasty. Good for breakfast, good for lunch, good for a snack when you get a hankerin’ for somethin’ sweet and savory. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them chickens. They’re probably hollerin’ for their supper.
And one more thing, if you ain’t got an air fryer, don’t go frettin’. You can cook these things in a regular oven too. Just takes a little longer, that’s all. The box tells you how, or you can just google it. That’s what them youngsters do, always googlin’ stuff. Me, I prefer to just figure things out myself. But hey, to each their own, right?
Anyway, the important thing is to get those pancake and sausage sticks cooked through and golden brown. That’s how you know they’re ready to eat. And trust me, they’re worth the wait. So go on, try it. You might just surprise yourself. And if you mess it up, well, that’s okay too. We all mess up sometimes. Just gotta learn from your mistakes and try again. That’s the secret to life, ain’t it?
Now get on with it, I gotta go sweep the porch.
