Directions

Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add raw sausage, shredded smoked Gouda, and baking mix to a large bowl. Mix well with your hands until everything is incorporated. If the mixture is dry and too crumbly to come together, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time, until it all binds together.
For easier handling, chill the mixture for 15-30 minutes.
For hot honey, heat honey and red pepper flakes in microwave for 20-30 seconds. Stir and let steep for 10 minutes.
Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, roll into 1-inch balls and transfer to the baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve immediately with toothpicks and hot honey for dipping.
Notes:
Freezing: Freeze unbaked sausage balls on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 2-3 extra minutes to baking time.

Make ahead: The mixture can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before shaping and baking.

Sticky hands tip: Lightly oil your hands or cookie scoop to make rolling easier.
