- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg, beaten

Cooking Tips:

- Use a non-stick skillet to cook the sausage, and break it up into small pieces as it cooks.
- Make sure the oil is hot before adding the corn balls to the skillet.

1. In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and egg.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
4. Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form the mixture into small balls.
6. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.
7. Once the oil is hot, add the corn balls to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
8. Remove the corn balls from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
9. Serve the Sausage and Cheddar Corn Balls hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika.
