Sausage and Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuit Balls

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Place all ingredients (see below for the buttermilk biscuit substitutie) in a large bowl. Use hands to mix until well combined. Shape into balls using about 2 tablespoons (1/8 cup) of the dough for each ball. Place on the baking sheet.

Bake 10-15 minutes or until internal temperature is 170ºF.

These can be frozen and taken out as needed. If frozen, bake 15-20 minutes at 400ºF.

For the buttermilk biscuit substitute:
Combine flour, buttermilk powder, baking powder, and salt in a very large bowl or food processor (I make a half batch at a time so it will fit in my food processor!). Cut in shortening until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Store in a tightly-closed covered container in a cool place. Use in place of Bisquick in recipes.

Makes about 10 cups of mix. (You will only need 3 cups for this recipe.)
