Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |

  • Chicken 165° F |

  • Ground Turkey 165° F |

  1. 1

    Make the Lemon Sugar

    Zest lemon, halve, and juice. In a small bowl, combine sugar and 2 tsp. lemon zest. Mix thoroughly and set aside. Rub sugar and lemon zest between your fingers to extract most flavor from lemon.

  2. 2

    Make the Pancake Batter

    In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together pancake mix, lemon sugar, poppy seeds, 1 cup water, and 2 tsp. lemon juice until batter falls from whisk in thick ribbons. Add water 1 Tbsp. at a time to adjust consistency. Set batter aside.

  3. 3

    Bake the Breakfast Sausage

    Place sausage links on prepared baking sheet and bake until browned and sausages reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 10-12 minutes. While sausages cook, make pancakes.

  4. 4

    Make the Pancakes

    Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Working in batches to not overcrowd pan, pour 1/2 cup batter into hot pan. Cook pancakes until bubbles appear on surface, 1-2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish the Pancakes

    Flip pancakes onto second side and cook until lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover with a dry dish towel. Using 1/2 cup measurement, batter should make approximately six pancakes.

  6. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Top pancakes with butter and syrup. Serve alongside breakfast sausage.
