Directions

Step 1

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.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the cooking oil.

Step 5

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).

Step 7

Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
