1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp. oil over medium-high heat. 
2. Add sausage links to pan; cook until browned and fully cooked. Remove from pan; set aside. 
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. 
4. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together milk, egg and melted butter. 
5. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; whisk until just moistened, adding more milk as needed to reach the consistency of a loose cake batter.
6. In a large deep pot, add enough oil to come halfway up the sides; heat oil to 375°.
7. Place each sausage link on a wooden skewer; dip into pancake batter to fully coat, scraping off excess. Hold each skewer in hot oil for 5 sec. before dropping into the pot; cook 3-4 at a time until golden-brown (4-5 min.). Remove from pot with a clean strainer or slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining sausages and batter, monitoring the oil and adjusting heat as needed to ensure oil stays at 375°. Let final batch cool for 3 min. 
8. Serve with desired garnish. 
    

Tasty Tips:

• These pancakes on a stick can be made in a shallow skillet (the shapes will be more rustic).
• For consistent results, monitor oil temperature with a candy thermometer.
• If using metal skewers, take care when removing them from the oil, as they can become very hot.
