Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for a mild sweetness)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork with the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sage, thyme, and red pepper flakes.

Step 2

If using maple syrup, drizzle it over the mixture and mix thoroughly using your hands or a wooden spoon until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 4

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil to coat the surface evenly.

Step 5

Once the oil is shimmering, add the sausage patties to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Cook the patties for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 7

Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy on their own or in breakfast sandwiches, alongside eggs and toast, or with your favorite dipping sauce.
