Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter (cold)
- 1 lb. breakfast sausage (uncooked)
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a stand mixer or food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cold butter. Mix until the butter is fully incorporated, resembling coarse crumbs. Alternatively, you can pinch the butter into the flour mixture by hand. Then add the grated cheddar cheese and mix thoroughly. Gradually add the uncooked breakfast sausage in small portions and mix until the dough comes together. You can also use your hands to combine everything evenly.
- Shape Sausage Balls: Using a 1 tablespoon ice cream scoop or a spoon, portion the mixture into small balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the sausage balls in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until they turn slightly browned on the outside. Ensure they are cooked through before removing them from the oven.
- Serve Warm: Allow the sausage balls to cool slightly, then serve warm as a savory appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Cold butter is key to prevent greasiness and ensure a tender texture.
- Using a food processor or stand mixer makes mixing easier but hand mixing is perfectly fine.
- You can add extra seasoning such as garlic powder or paprika for additional flavor.
- Store leftover sausage balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in a warm oven or microwave before serving.
