Charleston Sausage Brunch

Charleston Sausage Brunch is a recipe I first had years ago on holiday. The recipe is very simple yet the flavours combine amazingly. Using polenta was new to me but loved it. The pancakes are full of air, delicate and light. Served with the sausages and maple syrup makes this a breakfast/brunch and main dish all rolled into one.
