From Chef John, Foodwishes. My family loved this. I'd like to make again using a bit more meat in the ratio. I also like to add crushed red pepper to taste mixed in (I grind mine a bit finer in an old coffee grinder).

1 ¹⁄₄

lbs raw hot italian pork sausage (remove the casings from uncooked, link-style sausages)
¹⁄₂

cup finely sliced green onion
¹⁄₂

lb shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese (about 3 cups)
2

cups all-purpose flour
1

tablespoon baking powder
1

teaspoon salt
2

tablespoons milk (or more if needed)

DIRECTIONS

Mix together sausage, cheese and green onion.
In separate bowl, mix together dry ingredients. (This is equivalent to biscuit mix or self rising flour--so you could substitute if you wish).
Mix flour mixture with meat/cheese mixture.
When mixed fairly well, sprinkle in milk and mix until you get mixture to where it can be shaped into balls.
Shape into balls about the size of a walnut or slightly larger.
Bake at 450° for 12 - 15 minutes or until cooked thoroughly. (I like to broil for a minute or two for extra color at the end).
Serve with your favorite sauce. I like to make a dijonnaise with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to taste.
