Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 150 g
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese 226 g; see notes
  • 1 lb sage ground pork sausage 454 g
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter 42 g; melted
  • 1/4 cup milk 60 mL

Method
 

  1. Set oven to 400°F (205°C). In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, and baking powder by stirring.
  2. Introduce the cheese and toss to coat.
  3. Add the sausage, melted butter, and milk. Blend thoroughly—using clean hands is most effective.
  4. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange on a large lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Serve immediately.
