- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Instructions
Get prepped
- Measure out all seasonings and buttermilk.½ cup buttermilk, 1 ½ teaspoons rubbed sage, 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, ¾ teaspoon pepper
Make and shape the sausage mixture
- In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and seasonings. Add 2 pounds ground pork and mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 20 patties.
Cook the patties
- Heat a large skillet over medium-hight heat and coat with cooking spray. Cook the patties in batches for 5-6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature measured on a digital thermometer reads 160°F. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Notes
Don’t overmix the meat. Mixing too much can make the patties dense. Combine just until everything’s evenly distributed.
Use a cookie scoop. For uniform patties, scoop with a large cookie scoop, then flatten slightly with your hands.
Double and freeze. Make a double batch and freeze half for a no-stress breakfast later.
Try maple syrup. For a sweet twist, swap the brown sugar with a teaspoon of maple syrup in the mix.
