2. Lightly butter the surface.

3. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake.

4. Cook until bubbles form (about 2–3 minutes).

Keep warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven if needed.

🍳 PART 2: Creamy Scrambled Eggs

🛒 Ingredients

• 8 large eggs

Cooking:

3. Let sit 10–15 seconds.

4. Gently push eggs from edges toward center using a spatula.

5. Cook slowly, stirring gently.

When eggs are softly set but still slightly glossy:

For extra creamy eggs, cook low and slow.

🌭 PART 3: Breakfast Sausage

🔥 Pro Tips

✔ For extra fluffy pancakes: Separate eggs and whip whites before folding in.
✔ For diner-style eggs: Stir constantly over very low heat.
✔ For crispier sausage: Finish with 1–2 minutes uncovered on slightly higher heat.
✔ Add blueberries or chocolate chips to pancakes for variation.

⏱ Timing Strategy (Cook Efficiently)

1. Start sausages first (longest cooking time).

2. Mix pancake batter while sausages cook.

3. Cook pancakes.

4. Scramble eggs last (they cook fastest and taste best fresh).
