Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour (300g)
• 3 teaspoons baking powder (30g)
• 1 teaspoon salt (5g)
• 5 tablespoons cold butter (75g) (preferably unsalted)
• 1 pound breakfast sausage (450g) (Neeses if you can get it!)
• 1 pound shredded sharp cheddar cheese (450g)

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 (180 C, gas mark 4)
• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a food processor. Run for 15-20 seconds to fully mix them together.
• Cut the butter into small pieces and drop it in evenly around the processor bowl. Run the processor for 30-45 seconds, until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Pour into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the sausage a little at a time, tossing it around in the flour as you go. Otherwise you will have a heck of a time getting everything mixed in, as this is a very stiff dough.
• Add the cheese and mix well.
• Form the dough into 1 ounce balls (slightly smaller than a ping pong) and place them onto two cookie sheets. If you line with non-stick foil youll have zero clean up.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned. Place them on a rack just until they are cool enough not to burn the bujeezus out of you. They are fine at room temperature but divine when they are still warm.
• Making the actual balls takes most of the 30 minutes - the mixing is quick!
• Makes 40- 45 1 ounce sausage balls
