This is a recipe that if your really short on time or just wanna use a shortcut you can always use a box of pancake mix and just add the breakfast sausage to it and cook as above. I doubled the recipe and was able to get almost 48 muffins by doing so. They are great heated the next day and can be put in the freezer for a quick breakfast (just reheat in the microwave for a few minutes) .
