Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup fine-ground yellow cornmeal; 1/2 cup all-purpose flour; 1 tablespoon granulated sugar; 3/4 teaspoon fine salt; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; 1 cup whole milk; 2 large eggs; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick); 14 uncooked breakfast sausage links (12 ounces); 3 tablespoons maple syrup, plus more for serving

Servings: persons

1
Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl.
2
Add the milk and eggs and whisk until just combined and no streaks of flour remain; set aside.
3
(The batter can be made up to 1 day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator or a cooler.)
4
Heat a camping stove to medium (about 350 degrees F to 450 degrees F) or fit a campfire with a grilling grate.
5
Place a large cast-iron skillet on the stove or grate and heat until a drop of water sizzles and immediately disappears on the surface, about 5 minutes.
6
Add the butter and heat until foaming.
7
Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over and cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
8
Transfer the sausages to a large plate.
9
Whisk the batter again to recombine, then pour it into the skillet in an even layer.
10
Arrange the sausages on top of the batter in an even layer and drizzle the measured maple syrup over the surface of the batter and sausages.
11
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and cook undisturbed until the batter is puffed, cooked through, and golden brown on the bottom, about 15 to 20 minutes.
12
Cut into wedges and serve immediately, passing additional maple syrup on the side.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
