Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, maple syrup, salt, black pepper, ground sage, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Using clean hands or a wooden spoon, mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until evenly combined.
Portion the sausage mixture into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a small patty, about 3 inches in diameter.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the cooking oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sausage patties to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd them. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook each patty for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the maple sausage patties warm alongside eggs, pancakes, or your favorite breakfast sides.
