Ingredients:
- 1 pound sausage, removed from casing
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions:
- Prep the Sausage: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the beaten egg, milk, and melted butter.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Sausage: Gently fold in the cooked sausage.
- Bake: Pour the batter into greased muffin tins, filling them about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Let the muffins cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite breakfast sides, such as eggs, fruit, or yogurt.
Tips:
- For a spicier kick, use hot sausage or add a dash of red pepper flakes to the batter.
- To make these muffins ahead of time, prepare the batter and store it in the refrigerator overnight. Bake them the next morning.
- Freeze leftover muffins for a quick and easy breakfast option.
Enjoy this delicious and satisfying breakfast treat!
