Course: Breakfast, Snack
Cuisine: American
Author: This Lovely Little Farmhouse

Ingredients

Sausage Ball Ingredients:

  • 3 cups sprouted flour biscuit mix
  • 1 lb Jimmy Dean pork breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 lb grated cheddar cheese {3 cups}

Sprouted Flour Biscuit Mix Ingredients:

  • 3 cups sprouted flour
  • 1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 1 stick butter, {1/2 cup}

Instructions

Sausage Ball Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 375°
    Cook breakfast sausage. Drain only if there's excessive grease. A small amount of grease helps them hold together better when you're shaping them into balls.
    Combine sausage, cheese, and biscuit mix and mix together well using your hands.
    Form into 1- 1 1/2" balls and bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown.

For homemade biscuit mix:

  • Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
    Using a pastry cutter, cut in butter until it is as incorporated as possible with the goal of resembling coarse cornmeal.
    *Note: This is half of the complete biscuit mix recipe since it was the perfect amount for the sausage balls recipe. I made the sprouted flour biscuit mix with these measurements and used the whole amount for the sausage balls.
