Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Generously grease an 18x13 inch half-sheet pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the breakfast sausage until fully browned. Drain off any excess grease and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Slowly pour in the melted butter while whisking continuously.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir only until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps in the batter are expected.
- Pour the pancake batter into the prepared sheet pan, spreading it out to the edges in an even layer.
- Evenly sprinkle the cooked sausage crumbles and the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the pancake cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing into 12 squares. Garnish with fresh chives, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes
Tip 1: Do not overmix the batter! A lumpy batter makes for light and fluffy pancakes.
Tip 2: Feel free to customize with different cheeses like Pepper Jack or a Gruyere blend.
Tip 3: Serve with maple syrup for a classic sweet and savory experience, or with hot sauce for an extra kick.
