3 Tbsp butter.
Sifted together:
1 cup flour, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Add the flour mixture to the processor with the butter and cheese.
Roll a "treat" inside, an olive or a small bit of cooked sausage, forming balls.
Roll into balls. Freeze if desired, or bake right away. (I froze them so they can be baked on Christmas Day). 450℉ oven for 10 minutes (or until golden brown, as the old recipes say). Cool for a bit on a rack, but they are wonderful if eaten warm from the oven (cool enough so they don't burn your mouth, save that for the cayenne effect!)
The end result, baked.
I posted the photos on FB and got a nostalgic response from my niece, so I'm saving a few back for her, and she's coming over on Friday for a visit. I see this niece rarely, so the visit will be a real treat. She lost her labrador in August, and I'm thinking she and Ember will hit it off well.
Life's good. Keep Sparking!
I was browsing back in your posts looking for this yesterday...thanks for reposting!! Have a great day and I'll be happy to tell everyone who gave me the recipe when my friends and family bite into these.
ReplyDeleteAlways glad to hear reports of a good recipe spreading far and wide, and people enjoying!
DeleteThey always look soooo yummy!
ReplyDeleteThey gave my niece a happy holiday memory today.
DeleteWow! Thanks for the recipe. They just look so good! That's nice that you'll save some for your niece when she visits.
ReplyDeleteHappy baking!

Taste bud memories. Sent her home with the recipe so she can make them for her neighbors. Got to pass these recipes along while I can! I need to hunt up my mom's peanut brittle recipe as the gal who saved it for me has now passed on, too!
DeleteThank you for sharing. Bet your niece enjoyed the treat.
ReplyDeleteIt was just so good to see her... it's been a long time since we saw one another, I think it was just as we were coming out from under the pandemic shut down fears! Anyway, it was a good catch-up, and I am hoping it sparks a more regular contact schedule. She's the last of her nuclear family with mom, biological dad (who was never present in the home), and her brother... all passed on from various ailments. I hope to get my son together with his last remaining paternal cousin soon!
DeleteThanks for the recipe - I’ll add it to my repertoire! A couple of weeks ago, I had a craving for those sausage & cheese balls where bits of sausage are dispersed through the dough - they turned out very nicely
ReplyDelete(((Val)))
Hope you enjoy it! The bits of sausage in the dough for a breakfast biscuit? Also sound good!
