Mother's Day Brunch: Sausage Stuffed Waffles

If your mom loves the combination of sweet and savory then she is going to love these sausage stuffed waffles.  Similar to pigs in a blanket, breakfast sausage patties are cooked in between two waffles and drizzled in blackberry syrup and fresh blackberries. This is a great recipe for the kids to do because it uses refrigerated biscuit dough so all they have to do is spread the dough in the waffle maker. This same recipe can be made with blueberry syrup or raspberry syrup too.  For the finishing touch, sprinkle powdered sugar.

	1 tablespoon powdered sugar
	1 pint fresh blackberries
