Directions:

1. In a large pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil for 1 minute. Add the breakfast sausages to the pan and cook for 12 minutes, turning constantly, until crispy and browned all over.
2. Drain the sausages on paper towels and allow to cool.
3. Insert a small ice pop stick in each sausage, try to keep the stick aligned in the center of the sausage, then set aside.
4. Make the batter: In a bowl, combine together the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, baking soda. Use your hands to make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Pour the milk, eggs, and melted butter into the well, then stir the center working your way out until the mixture is thick and well-combined.
5. Fold in the bacon into the mixture.
6. Heat the canola oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C.
7. Pour the pancake batter into a tall glass, then dip a sausage stick into the mixture by holding the stick and rotating the sausage as needed until it’s completely covered with batter..
8. Use tongs to gently place the battered sausage into the hot oil and cook for about two minutes until golden brown.
9. Drain on paper towels or a cooling rack and repeat with all the remaining sausages.
