French Toast Sausage Fluffins: A Delicious Breakfast Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (9.6 ounce) box pre-cooked maple flavored pork sausage links
• 2.75 cups all-purpose flour*
• 1 (.25 ounce) envelope Fleischmann's® RapidRise Yeast
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup very warm milk (120 to 130 degrees F)
• 1 tablespoon Mazola® Corn Oil
• 1 egg egg
• 1 teaspoon Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Spice Islands® Ground Saigon Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter OR margarine, melted
• Pancake syrup

Instructions

1. Reheat sausage according to package directions to remove any excess moisture. Cool on paper towels for 5 minutes and pat dry. Slice into very thin pieces and set aside for later.
2. In a large mixer bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, and salt. Add milk, oil, egg, and vanilla; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Gradually add the remaining 1-1/4 cups flour to create a stiff but sticky dough. Stir in the sliced sausage. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
3. Using a scoop or two spoons, portion the dough into 12 generously greased 2-1/2 inch muffin cups. Do not use paper liners. Cover and let the dough rise for 35 to 45 minutes. The dough will rise, but it will not double in size. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon for the topping and set aside.
4. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are nicely browned. Let them cool on a wire rack for 2 minutes. Brush with butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Run a knife around each roll to remove it from the pan. Serve warm with pancake syrup, if desired, and refrigerate any leftovers.
