Dessert: Sausage Johnnycake Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup cornmeal
2 cups buttermilk
12 uncooked breakfast sausage links
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
1 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Maple syrup

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine cornmeal and buttermilk; let stand for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until no longer pink; drain on paper towels. Arrange eight links in a spoke-like pattern in a greased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Cut remaining links in half; place between whole sausages.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir egg and vanilla into cornmeal mixture; add to dry ingredients and stir just until blended. Pour batter over sausages.
Bake at 400 ° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm with syrup.
