3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (in this recipe you can use pancake syrup, if neccessary)
2 tablespoons honey

How To Make homemade breakfast sausage

Step 1

MIX SAUSAGE: Combine pork, garlic, syrup, honey, water, sage, thyme, salt, pepper, & cayenne in large bowl. Gently mix with hands until well combined. Form mixture into 2 1/2" patties, about 1/2" thick. (You should have 16 patties.)

Step 2

BROWN SAUSAGE: Melt 1 Tbsp butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook 1/2 of patties until well browned & cooked through, 3 - 5 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towel lined plate & tent with foil. Wipe out skillet. Repeat with remaining butter & patties. Serve.
Step 3

MAKE AHEAD: The raw sausage patties can be refrigerated, covered, for 1 day or frozen for up to 1 month. To cook frozen patties, proceed with step 2, cooking patties for 7 - 9 minutes per side.
Step 4

PERFECT PATTIES: A greased 1/4 cup measure makes 16 uniform patties with a minimum of work & mess. Cover with plastic wrap, then use your palm to gently flatten each sausage patty.
