Breakfast Patties

From A Taste Of Home cookbook. Recipe was submitted by Jeannine Stallings. I even ground my own pork for these yummy little sausage patties.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Yields: 8 patties

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup water
• 2  teaspoons salt
• 2  teaspoons rubbed sage
• 1  teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (grind your own if you can)
• 1⁄4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (I like to use a little less to make it more toddler friendly)
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground ginger (grind your own if you can)
• 2  lbs ground pork

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine water and seasonings. Add pork and mix well. Shape into eight 4-inch patties (of course, you will get more patties if you make them smaller).
2. In a large skillet, cook patties over medium low heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in the center and meat thermometer reads 160°F (I did find that I needed longer than that to cook mine through, but they were pretty thick).
